Explanation
Export CSV cue sheet from ETC Eos family console, and import to QLab.
This script will have you select a CSV file. No need for a separate spreadsheet editing application.
Exporting CSV from ETC Eos
In ETC Eos, go to file… export… csv… then select a location to export
Then click “Deselect All”
And then click “Cues” so only cues will be exported. You can leave the other settings as they are. Then click OK.
This script uses QLab's network device definitions, and so the correct patch needs to be set before creating cues. If the cues are created before proper network settings, changing the network settings afterwards will not fix the cues. To enforce a proper network patch before creating cues, there is a place at the top of each to script specify the name of the network patch you want the cues to use. The script will stop if it doesn't see a network patch with the name indicated.
Script
Copy the text below, and paste it into a script cue in your QLab workspace. I recommend assigning it a hotkey, or I like to give each script cue a unique cue number using letters, and then trigger it from Bitfocus Companion.

--Script will prompt you for a csv file. You don't need any spreadsheet editors open.
set networkPatchName to "Eos" --put the name (case sensitive) of your network patch with type set to "ETC Eos family". If there are multiple network patches with the same name, the first result (highest on the list) will be used.
