Creating a Loop

A loop is a series of programmed scenes that continuously plays in sequential order. To create a
loop, you must first create two or more contiguous scenes (see Step-by-Step Scene Creation on
page 42). After you have created your scenes, go to the next available scene and choose the
ZERO menu option to erase any programmed parameter values and mark the end of the loop.
Note: If you program all available on-board scenes, you do not have to mark
the end of the loop. When preset playback is set on, the fixture will
automatically loop after playback of all programmed scenes.

Playing Back a Loop

To play back a loop, you must set preset playback on for each fixture (see Setting Preset
Playback (PLAY) on page 23). When preset playback is set on, your fixture will automatically
begin playing back the first scene and continue through the loop.
Note: Scene 1 must be programmed to enable preset playback.
The fixture has two ways to indicate that preset playback is
on. First, the display will show a dot in the lower right corner.
Second, during normal operation, the seven-segment LED
cycled information will be changed to display PRST instead of
the fixture's software version (Vxxx).
If power is removed during playback, the fixture will home and
begin playback at the first scene. To stop playback, manually
set playback mode off, (see Setting Preset Playback (PLAY) on
page 23).
