RECORDING CHASES [continued]
After you have finished adding channels or presets to the step, press "ENTER".
NOTE: (The "Fixture" LED must be turned off before pressing "ENTER".) The step
indicator on the display will automatically increment to the next step. Repeat the
previous actions to record up to 256 steps. You can also enter empty steps by
pressing "ENTER" before changing any channels. These empty steps can be used
to lengthen the time between steps. You can record something into these empty
steps later if needed.
As you are recording steps you can move from step to step by putting the
display cursor under the step number and use the + or - switches or the data
wheel to select a new step. You can change or add more channels to any
previously recorded step this way.
Pressing "ENTER" always advances you to the next chase step. If you are at the end
of the chase this will add an additional step to the end of the chase until you reach
step 256 (the maximum allowed).
If you make a mistake while recording a chase step, press "ERASE" and you will be
prompted whether or not to erase the contents of the chase step. Press "YES" to
clear the step of all channel and preset data. If you press "ERASE" a second time,
you will be prompted whether or not to remove the empty step from the chase.
This will remove the step and shorten the length of the chase by one.
At any time while recording the chase you can enter a speed value, a fade value
and a name for the chase. Use the cursor switches to move the cursor on the
display under the item to be changed then use the + or - switch or the data wheel
to modify it. To get to the name, continue to move the cursor to the right, past the
fade setting and the screen will change to show the name and the speed lock
status. To edit the name, move the cursor under each character then use the +
and - switches or the data wheel to select the letters.
