Swing: With swing you set how much area the shape covers on the channel. This is also called the
amplitude of the effect.

Coffs and Cdlay: This parameter is only relevant when you have two or more channels that need to
be delayed relative to each other. The values of those channels are displayed in degrees. Coffs is
used when fine-tuning individual channels. It will only work when you have one of the channels
selected. Cdlay is an easier way of setting an equal Coffs between two or more channels.
When you set the swing and speed of the effect, the fixtures were still moving in a diagonal line. The
effect of Coffs becomes clearly visible when you slowly bring up Cdlay from 0 to 90. You will notice
the line getting wider until it finally becomes a circle at 90 degrees. This because you create delay
between PAN and TILT.

TILT Coffs = 90°
or
PAN/TILT Cdlay = 90°

Note: Most moving mirrors do not produce perfect circles because they generate more pan than tilt.
The angle you are projecting at also affects the shape projected.
•
Fdlay and Span: This parameter is only relevant when you have multiple fixtures under the same
effect. When Fday is set to 0, all fixtures get the same values from the effect generator. In our case
they are all at the same point on the circle. When you cause delay between fixtures with Fdlay the
fixtures themselves will be in different positions on the effect shape. Hence their beams will be in
different positions on the circle you created.
