Run program
When the program is run by applying the Run program command, scenes execute in a continuous,
ascending loop.
Synchronizing stand-alone operation
If you are running multiple fixtures on a data link, you can synchronize action so that all fixtures start their
programmed shows and start fading to the next scene at the same time.
Setting master and slave fixtures
In synchronized operation, one fixture is set as the master and the others are set as slaves. Each fixture
must be programmed with its own show. When the master fades to the next scene or starts its show from
the beginning again, it tells each slave fixture to fade to its next scene or start its show again. In other words,
each slave fixture will run its show repeatedly in a cycle, changing scene when prompted to by the master,
until the master finishes its own show and signals that all fixtures should start from the first scene once
again.
Before running synchronized operation, you must set fixtures to one of the following in the Synchronized
drop-down dialog box (see Figure 13):
• Single Fixture: operates in stand-alone mode independently of other luminaires
• Master: sends trigger signals to other luminaires, or
• Synchronized: slave – receives trigger signals from other luminaires.
No more than one luminaire may be the master. Any luminaire on the link, regardless of its position, may be
the master. All other luminaires must be set as slaves.
Combining with other fixtures
An Exterior 200 LED running a stand-alone show can perform synchronized scene changes with other
Exterior 200 LED fixtures as well as Martin Architectural fixtures of the following types:
• Exterior 1200 Wash
• Exterior 1200 Image Projector
• Exterior 200
• Exterior 600
• Exterior 600 Compact
• Inground 200 CMY
Stand-alone programming tips
If you want to keep things as simple as possible when programming synchronized operation, ensure that:
1. Every fixture has the same number of scenes.
2. Scene times are a few seconds longer on the master fixture than on slave fixtures (this will ensure that
slave fixtures always have time to finish scenes before the master tells them to start the next scene).
It is important to note that the only commands transmitted by the master are scene change and show start
commands. No data about the appearance of the scene is transmitted between fixtures.
