Page 41: Edit Program
Set to Slave - after a preset program is defined on a Master fixture, other SolaFrame 750 fixtures on the same DMX data link can be designated slaves to playback the configured Program (Part 1, 2, or 3) as defined on the Master fixture. Auto Program - sets the fixture to run an internal program alone or as a master. - Page 42 Edit Scenes A parameter is a fixture attribute that can be controlled, for example to modify the light beam in terms of color, beam quality and pattern, intensity, or focus (position). DMX programming assigns a DMX value to each of the fix- ture’s parameters.
