OVERRIDE FUNCTION

During playback of scenes and chases in auto and music mode, it is possible to select
one or more fixtures and manipulate their functions manually.
To do this just select the fixtures you want to lift out of the running sequence and press
the override button. Now you can manipulate all functions of the selected fixtures,
completely independent from the running sequence. At any moment you can select or
unselect additional fixtures. Once a fixture in unselected or the override function is
disabled, the fixtures continue the sequence.

FILE DUMP

It is possible a memory dump from one SM-1612 to another SM-1612. This saves you
a lot of programming work!
1. Prepare to send file dump: these actions have to be carried out on the
Scanmaster that has to send the file dump.
a. Turn the power off.
