Formatting clocks for Natural Log & Natural Music

If you use Natural Log or Natural Music, commands are best entered directly into the clock/template rather than as a cart.

If you are running Natural Music version 8 or newer, you should use the export template for Tune Tracker with Auto Importer's delimiter set as 'fixed'.

You need to start each PlayoutONE command with an ampersand & followed by a space, for example:

Traffic Merge

& TRAFFICMERGE 20:00 24:00

Marker

& SOFTMARKER 59:50

Specific UID

& UID=1000

Command

& NAME OF COMMAND OR FRIENDLY NAME

Chains

If you want to set the chain to be on a STOP for a specific item, make sure that in Natural Log / Natural Music the cart or command referenced ends with a $ sign. 

E.G. in PlayoutONE Cart 123 would be 123$ in Natural Log / Music. 

E.G. & LEGALID$ would make the Command LegalID stop. 

You'll also need to turn on the setting within Auto Importer to look for Chain Codes under the Options tab, Traffic Log tab (it applies to both music and traffic logs)
