Slave Receive Mode; Operation In Automatic Mode - ProLights STARK400 User Manual

3.4 SLAVE RECEIVE MODE

This mode will allow you to link up the units together without a controller. Choose a unit to function as the
Master. The unit must be the first unit in line; other units will work as slave with the same effect.
A Master unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master unit can start 3 differ-
ent Slave units, which run 3 different programs. The Master unit sends the 3 program parts in a continuous
loop.
The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the Slave unit was as-
signed to.
For example, if a slave device is set to Receive Part 1, the Master unit Slave unit will send the automated
Chase Part 1; if set to Receive Part 2, the Chase Part 2 Slave units will receive from the Master.
