Chapter 14. User mode
The user mode determines how accessible the console is. There are three user modes.
14.1 Different modes for different people
14.1.1 Programmer mode
In programmer mode you have access to every function of the Xciter.
14.1.2 Operator (run) mode
You have access to all playback functions.
The following functions are disabled. Pressing deactivated buttons will not have any effect.
•
You cannot change show data. [Edit] and [Store] are disabled.
Example: Even if you are the Xciter programmer, you can safely operate the console in this mode.
Example: Your resident DJ knows the controller well and you want him to get the best out of it.
14.1.3 Dummy mode
You have limited access to playback functions and cannot edit or store. This is the safest user mode.
The following functions are disabled. Pressing deactivated buttons will not have any effect. You cannot:
•
Change show data. [Edit] and [Store] are disabled.
•
Do manual override of devices. [Fix], [Dim], [Clear] and [Load] are disabled.
•
Start/stop sequences or change sequence run mode. The soft keys on LCD1 are disabled.
Example: At an exhibition you want to increase interactivity with certain art objects. So you have visitors,
who do not know anything about light, operate the console and change the lighting themselves.
Example: You have a visiting DJ who does not know anything about the console.
