8.Control board The control panel situated on the top cover of the ArcPower 16x6 allows DMX addressing and set the fixture´s behaviour. Control elements: [ENTER] button- enters menu,confirms adjusted values and leaves menu. [UP] button and[DOWN] button- moves between menu items on the the same level, sets values.
"P.End" - a total number of the program steps (value 1-60).This value should be set before start programming (e.g. if you want to create program with 10 steps,set End=10).
