Setting Interval Warning Length (41)
Wouldn't it be great if the Pclix XT could warn you it's about to trigger your camera, of course it would.
After all you don't want to be photographed watering your plant just as your camera takes another
time-lapse image of the flower opening to full bloom. The Pclix XT has the ability to give you a visible
warning providing two rules are met. First, the interval must be 1 minute or longer and second the
interval must be a User Programmed Interval stored in any of the registers numbered 90 to 99.
Normally when the Pclix XT is counting down to the next interval the RED LED gives a quick flash
every second, however when the Pclix XT is within the length of the warning the RED LED flash
inverts. Meaning the RED LED stays lit with the RED LED turning OFF quickly every second instead of
turning ON. The factory default for the length of the warning is 20 seconds but you can change the
length of the warning to anything between and including 01 and 59 seconds using the programming
sequence below. If you try and set a warning length of 60 seconds or greater you will get an error
warning indicated by a RED LED flash, reset the dials and try again.

LED Trigger Swapping (Green 42, Red 43)
This user preference is used to reverse the Green and Red LEDs. We highly suggest you ONLY change
this preference if you are using the Pclix XT to trigger video recording. If you use the programming
code of 42 (Default) then the Green LED will flash whenever a trigger is sent to the camera, it will also
stay lit when a video camera is recording. However the convention for recording and shooting film is
normally indicated by a Red LED, Green in some cases means standby. For this reason we have made
it possible to swap the LEDs therefore making the Red LED flash or stay lit when the camera is
triggered or recording. You can set the Pclix XT to flash the Red LED when a trigger is sent by using
the programming code of 43.
