Analog Triggered Deep Presets - NSI DS12 Installation And Operation Manual

5.2 Analog Triggered Deep Presets

This section assumes that you understand how to create and run presets, fade times, and links as described in the
previous sections.
If you have been poking around in the edit preset menus, you may have come across a menu after the LINK to
PRESET menu called AUTO TRIGGER. The auto trigger menu enables presets to automatically load into the
analog submasters. Here are the rules:
1. Every preset to be auto triggered must have the analog channel # entered into the auto trigger field . If the next
linked or incremented preset does not have the auto trigger programmed, then the control module will stop.
Example: If a chase is to be programmed into presets 30 through 42 and the chase is to be activated by
analog input 1, then every preset, 30 through 42, must have AUTO TRIGGER = A01 programmed into its
preset.
2. Only one auto-triggered preset or group of presets can be active at a time. The control module automatically
prioritizes the control levels of analog input channels 1 through 12, and uses the lowest channel number input as
the active trigger input.
Example: If a chase programmed into presets 30 through 42 is auto triggered by analog input 1, and another
chase is programmed into presets 50 through 55 auto triggered by analog input 2, then the chase on analog
input 1 will override the chase on analog input 2, if analog channel 1 has a level over 10%
3. The lowest number auto triggered preset is always the first preset to execute when the analog channel raises from
0 to at least 10%.
4. The auto triggered preset loads into its respective submaster scene, therefore the whole preset scene is under the
proportional control of the analog input control level.
When you are sure you understand these features and constraints, select the applicable preset number from the main
preset menu, press [EDIT], and then [MORE] 4 times, and the following menu will be displayed:
AUTO TRIGGER = OFF
[ON]
Press [ON]. The LCD menu will change indicting a default trigger channel of analog input 1. Enter the analog trigger
channel that you desire. Press [CLEAR] to back out of the menu, and then enter the trigger channels for all presets
that are to be auto-faded by the trigger input.
The lowest number auto triggered preset will automatically load and run as soon as the associated analog channel is
raised from 0% to over 10%.
