Export and Import facilities using CSV-files (comma-separated variables) are avail-
able via the File menu for the console layout (map) and names assigned to each
module position. Try for example SAM’s export facility to see the format expected of
the file, after which you could use your favourite program to create a similar file to
import into SAM SETUP or SAM.

If you try to load a show that has been saved with a different mapping than that of the
current console, SAM will display a dialog box labelled
Show and Mapping conflict,
see figure 6-5. For details on the options in the dialog box, see sections 6.6 Load
from console , 6.7 Load from show and 6.8 Re-mapper .

When a show is saved, the console configuration is saved as part of the Cue file.
This allows SAM to determine whether the saved configuration is different to the cur-
rent console. If it is, SAM re-arranges the data for the new console. The mapping
may not always be the same since different modules require different data, but this
method is usually much quicker than re-plotting the whole show from the beginning.
When re-mapping has been carried out, SAM indicates this in the title bar, see
fig 6-
6 below.
In some cases, the show cannot be automatically translated into the current console
configuration. If this occurs, the option “Load from console” is greyed out (as in figure
6-5).
