12. WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS

The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to
be installed and recalled directly from the fixture's control board. Programs can be
created and stored using the fixture's control board or by using an external DMX
controller. The following instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board
system menu as well as using a DMX compliant controller.
Memory Statistics:
Quick Access Programs (Program Part): 3
Total Number of Programs: 10
Maximum Number of Steps (Scenes) per a Program: 64
Total Number of Scenes (Steps): 250
Step 1 – Building Scenes.
The control will store a maximum of 250 scenes. These scenes are then used to create
the programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 64 scenes. Keep in mind that a
scene can only be access when it is stored in a "Program." If you wish to build a static
scene (a scene consisting of no movement) for a logo or gobo projection, the scene must
be stored inside a program. To build scenes follow the instructions below:
• Access the main menu and toggle to "Edit Programs" which is menu function 8.
• Then tap the "ENTER" button and toggle to "Edit Scenes," menu function 8-3.
• When you get to the "Edit Scenes" function tap the "ENTER" button. The screen
will then change to Edit Scene 001, this will be menu function 8-3-1. You can then
press the "ENTER" button to begin to edit scene 1 or use the "UP" and "DOWN"
buttons to toggle to access scenes 2-250.
• Once in the scene edit screen you have access to the functions listed below.
Tapping the "ENTER" button will instantly allow you to change the values of the
selected function in real time. The values can be adjusted from 0~250. Once you
achieved your desired value tap the "ENTER" button once again to automatically
lock the value into the scenes memory. You can repeat the procedure for all
functions listed below:
- "Auto Program" – Allows access to all 42 DMX channels.
- "PAN" – pan movement.
- "PAN-Fine" – precision pan movement.
- "TILT" – tilt movement.
