Reading from diskette
You can read either the show or the system configuration contents of a
showfile, or you can read both together. See Appendix D Showfile, page
359, for a breakdown of what components are stored in each.
CAUTION: The information you read from diskette takes the place of
whatever you had before the read in your console’s memory. 31 If you
want to keep the show and configuration settings currently in memory,
write them to diskette before the read.
You may read from diskette in the middle of a performance, but you
should wait until no fades are taking place. Any fades in progress are
stopped during the read and resume when the read is complete. Fader
and submaster outputs are maintained as the new show loads.

configuration components at once.
