FADE MODE is used to set the crossfade method for each of the fixture's
channels. Use the + and - switches or data wheel to select the desired channel,
then move the cursor to the value to select the crossfade mode. The choices
are "Crossfade", "Snap Before Fade" and "Snap After Fade". You must press
"ENTER" after each channel has been programmed.
Selecting "Crossfade" will cause a channel to smoothly fade from one setting to
another when changing scenes. The crossfade time will vary from scene to scene
depending on how that scene was programmed. Use this setting for channels that
control functions like pan and tilt or dimming to achieve a smooth transition from
scene to scene. If you use this setting for gobo or color wheel channels, this will
cause the wheels to step through all positions between the start and end positions
of a long fade. This is usually the default setting for pan, tilt and dimmer channels.
Selecting "Snap Before Fade" will cause the channel to jump immediately to the
next scene level as soon as the new scene is called. Use this setting for channels
that control motor speed so that pan and tilt will move at the correct speed during
the fade. You can also use this setting for wheel channels that you want to change
at the start of a long crossfade. This is usually the default setting for speed and
mode channels.
Selecting "Snap after fade" will cause the channel to jump immediately to the next
scene level at the end of a crossfade. Use this setting for wheels and effects that
you want to take effect after a long crossfade is complete. This is usually the default
setting for color and effects wheels.

COPY FIXTURE

This is used to copy the fixture type from one fixture number to another. This feature
saves time by letting you copy the fixture selection rather than searching through
the list when setting up a group of fixtures that are all the same. Select a fixture
number to copy from and to. Press, "ENTER" to complete the copy process. If auto
patch is enabled you will be given the warning that some addresses may change.
Press "YES" to continue or "NO" to quit without saving. If a fixture is already set up at
the "Copy To" location, you will be asked if you want to copy over the existing
fixture, press "YES" to copy over it or "NO" to exit.
