Allegiant Keyboards
The only limitation associated with sequence programming is the CPU memory required for
storing the sequence steps. The current limit for most Allegiant models is 3000 steps, but the
LTC 8900 supports up to 6000 steps.
Consider a sequence as being similar to a spreadsheet; a simple sequence would consist of 3
columns of information that would look as follows:
Camera
Programming of sequences can best be described by going through the above example.
Initiate the programming mode by pressing PROGRAM. Enter an available sequence number
(1 to 60 for most Allegiant models; 1 to 256 for LTC 8900 systems), then press ENTER. The
on-screen monitor display will change to the following format:
1st Line
2nd Line >C0001<
The top line of the display always indicates the current step being viewed, in the S0001
section. Total length of the sequence is displayed in the L0001 section.
When programming a new sequence, the camera number that was being viewed before
entering the programming mode is automatically placed within the > < prompts (as in the
above example showing camera number C0001 on the 2nd line). Enter the first camera of the
sequence into this position. If the camera number is correct, no action is necessary. If not,
enter the desired camera number via the keypad, and press ENTER.
Using the joystick control, move to the RIGHT one step. The prompts will shift over to the
monitor number shown above as M001. The monitor that was being controlled by the
keyboard before entering the programming mode defaults to this position. If it is correct, no
action is necessary. If not, enter the desired monitor number via the keypad, and press
ENTER.
Move RIGHT again. The prompts now shift over to the dwell time shown above as D02. The
default dwell time for a new sequence is two seconds. If a different dwell period for this step
is desired, change the value to any number between 1 and 60. One line is now complete.
Press NEXT to add a second line. The camera number automatically increments, but monitor
number and dwell remain the same as the first line. Since this line is correct, no change is
necessary and NEXT may be pressed three more times, until line five is reached. Note that the
joystick can be used to move around within the spreadsheet, but only the NEXT key adds new
lines.
Continue entering camera, monitor, and dwell times in the same fashion until finished. To
store the sequence for future use and then exit programming mode, press PROG. If you press
RUN, the programming mode exits, the sequence is stored into memory, and the sequence
begins to run. The switcher steps through the five steps in the order shown, and repeats the
sequence when it reaches the last step.
To program a sequence that runs once through its steps and then stops, enter the value 62 for
the dwell time in the last step, and press ENTER. The dwell display will change to the STP
indicator, meaning stop. To program a sequence that runs once through its steps, and then
unloads itself, enter the value 63 for the dwell time in the last step and press ENTER. The
dwell display changes to ULD, meaning unload.
To edit an existing sequence, press PROG, enter the existing sequence number, and then
press ENTER. You can insert a line into a sequence by navigating to the appropriate line and
