- During stage oriented movement mode the value in the display reaches from
-99 to +99. The centre of the stage corresponds to 0/0, the corners have values
of +/-25. Values outside +/- 25 mean, that the beam is actually outside the
stage.
- When a preset is recalled with a x-fade time greater than zero, the beams will
change slowly and with a linear travel from their actual position to the new one.
- If the movement initialization was done correctly, any combination of scans,
which shows the same values in the display, meet the same point on stage.
Outside the stage, this effect will loose its accuracy.
Programming presets for Pan/Tilt makes movement control very handy.
44 positions on stage can be preprogrammed and recalled by their button.
In addition it helps to return to a well defined point if the operation via trackball
gets confusing.
During any programming of positions make sure, that the circle radius is set to
zero. If only the circle speed is zero, but the radius is greater zero, there is no
circle movement visible, but the radius is still valid and will cause an offset on
the programmed positions.
