program, and select it. Repeat this for the "Tilt", "Red", "Green", "Blue", "Strobe", "Time", and
"Fade" values. Note that "Time" is the length of time in seconds that the current step will run, and
Tilt
must be a value between 0 and 8. Also note that the value of "Fade" cannot be larger than the

Q-Wash LED User Manual
The program runs in sequential order, starting with step 001, and continuing through
the last step that was programmed. It is therefore not necessary to program all 100
steps. In other words, if only steps 001, 002, and 003 are programmed, the routine will
start again at step 001 after step 003 has finished executing.
Fade value cannot exceed time value. For example, if time is set to 4, fade can be 0-4.
