Programming and Using the User Interval Settings (9)
First let's explain how to program and use the user programmable interval settings (9).
More than likely this is the user function you will use most often and due to the nature this
function it has the most steps in order to enter your settings. Subsequent programmable
functions of the Pclix LT are much easier to explain once you are familiar with setting the user
programmable interval function (9).
There is one major difference in the way the user programmable intervals and the basic
intervals operate. As we described in the "Basic Operation" section of this manual, if the 1 to
89 intervals are changed as the Pclix LT is running, then the present interval finishes and an
image is taken. Finally the new interval is loaded and used from that point on. In the user
programmable intervals the Pclix LT does NOT wait until the present interval is finished.
Instead when you change from one user interval to another, the Pclix LT will load the new
interval and take an image immediately. This is done because you might change from a very
long user interval to a very short user interval. Remember when I say long; it can be up to
100 hours.
When you are using the Pclix LT in the "Basic Operation" mode, you can set the dials
anywhere between 1 and 89 thereby making that setting the interval. However the Pclix LT
actually has 99 dial positions not 89. It is these last 10 which are used for your user definable
intervals. The dial positions 90 to 99 can be programmed to any interval you choose between
1 second and 100 hours, actually 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds to be exact and all in
1 second increments. In fact the Pclix LT comes pre-programmed with the following intervals
saved into those 10 locations. However as you'll see in the following few paragraphs, it's a
breeze to change one or all of these user interval registers in mere seconds to whatever you
like.

91 -

93 -
94 -
In order to program your own intervals, you must put the Pclix LT into Programming
Mode as we did earlier in this manual in order to set the camera model.
As mentioned, there are 10 user intervals registers numbered 90 – 99. The first thing
you need to do is shut OFF the Pclix LT, then set the LEFT dial to 9 and the RIGHT dial to the
register you would like to save your interval into. For example: if you would like to save your
user interval into register 92 then set the dials to 92. Next hold down the red FIRE button and
turn on the Pclix LT, the RED LED will flash 3 times indicating you are in the programming
mode. Now release the red FIRE button. After doing so the GREEN LED will flash 1 time. This
single flash is telling you to input the number of hours you want your interval to be. Set the
LEFT and RIGHT dials to that number, somewhere between 00 and 99. Once you have set the
dials to your desired number of hours then push the red FIRE button once, the GREEN LED
