Can you use advanced sensors to cloak and then immediately decloak

That thread get into a triple decloak-recloak-decloak scenario which is more complicated. To the OP's original question, yes, you can use AdvS to perform a cloak action, and then immediately decloak, since both trigger off "immediately before revealing your maneuver dial".

Edited to reflect the ruling in the latest FAQ. As Forensicus points out below, this is not possible.

Nope, it just been FAQ'd in the latest version:

Advanced sensors

If a ship equipped with Advanced Sensors does not have a maneuver dial assigned to it (for example, because it is ionized), it cannot use Advanced Sensors’ ability.

If a ship is overlapping an obstacle when it activates, it may use Advanced Sensors before revealing its maneuver dial.

If a TIE Phantom uses Advanced Sensors to perform a cloak action, it cannot immediately decloak.
