Identical light shows
Master and slave luminaires can be set to behave identically. In this mode,
the master sends synchronizing signals to the slaves, and all luminaires run
the same light show. Each slave luminaire follows the program set on its
own DIP switch, so for identical operation, all luminaires' DIP switch settings
must be the same apart from pin 9, which is set to ON for slaves and OFF
for the master.

It is also possible to synchronize changes but program slave luminaires to
behave differently from the master. To use this feature effectively, you need
to plan your light show using scenes as building blocks and set the
luminaires' DIP switches accordingly.
A scene is a change from one output to another. When a luminaire is in
slave mode, it starts a scene when it receives a synchronization signal from
the master. The time taken by the scene is determined by the speed setting
of the DIP switch. A slave will not respond to new synchronization signals
until its scene is complete.
When crossfading is selected, each color takes up one scene (fade in only).
When blackout fading is selected, each color takes up two scenes (fade in
and fade out). This means that the maximum number of scenes that can be
programmed is twice the number of tubes installed, with all tubes activated
and blackout fading selected.
Each time the master luminaire starts at scene 1, it sends a signal to all the
slave luminaires to start at scene 1. This means that if a slave luminaire has:
1. Fewer scenes than the master luminaire, it will run these in a cycle until
the master luminaire signals that the program should start from the
beginning again.
2. More scenes than the master, the additional scenes will never run,
because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts
its program from the beginning.
Here is an example of what will happen when a slave luminaire has fewer
scenes than the master luminaire:
Luminaire setting
Master with 6 scenes
Slave with 4 scenes
