Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single 4BAR Quad product (the "master") to control the actions of one or
more 4BAR Quad products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be
set to operate in either standalone mode or with the footswitch, while the slave products will be set to
operate in slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
