12. WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS

The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to be

installed and recalled directly from the fixture's control board. Programs can be created and

stored using the fixture's control board or by using an external DMX controller. The following

instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board system menu as well as using a

DMX compliant controller.

Creating a Program - The fixture will store a maximum of 48 scenes. These scenes are

then used to create the program. A program can store one or a maximum of 48 steps. Keep

in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored the "Program." If you wish to build

a static scene (a scene consisting of a single color), use the "Manual" function instead (see

page XX). Building a program involves first setting the total amount of steps in the program

(1-48) then creating the scenes. Keep in mind that although you can create a total of 48

unique scenes the program will only playback the total amount of steps that have been

assigned to the program, i.e., If you create 36 unique scenes but define the total amount of

steps in the program to three, the program will only playback the first three scenes.

Step 1 – Defining Amount of Steps.

The fixture will store a maximum of 48 steps per a program. These steps will consist of the

scenes that will be created in "Step 2" below. Keep in mind that steps are not scenes only a

definition of how many scenes will be played back in the program. To define the total amount

of steps, follow the procedure below;

- Define the number of steps in Run

1. Access the main menu and toggle to "Edit."

2. Then tap the "ENTER" button and toggle to "STEP," menu function.

3. Tap the "ENTER" button to define the maximum amount of steps. Maximum amount

of steps is 48. Steps will be indicated as "S-01" for a single step and "S-48" for 48

steps. Once you set the maximum amount of steps press enter to lock in the

selection. Once the total amount of steps has been set advance to editing scenes.
