Macro Programming
You can define your own program, a macro, if none of the built-in programs suits your needs. The macro
consists of maximum 62 different, consecutive steps. For each step, you can choose among three effects
(ChangeColor, Twinkling, Fade). You can choose to include pan/tilt movements or to keep the head stationary.
The device will execute all defined steps in an endless loop.
The default macro consists of 3 steps: first ChangeColor, then Twinkling, then Fade.
Note: If you use "Reload Parameter" to reset the device (see General Settings), your customised macro is reset
to this default macro.
To define your own macro:
1. Press <SET/ESC> until <LED xxx> is displayed.
2. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select <LED Macro> and press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the desired setting.
Refer to the table below for descriptions of the different settings:

4. The menu shows as many steps as you specified in "Step quantity". Repeat for the number of steps you
defined.

Master/Slave Mode

The master/slave mode allows connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices will then
work synchronously with the master device.
You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode.
1. Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.
2. The first unit in the chain functions as the master fixture. Set up the unit as described in Stand-Alone
Mode.
3. On the master device, press <SET/ESC> until <SET Menu> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select <Master/Alone> and press <ENTER>.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select <Master Mode> and press <ENTER>.
The indicator "Master" will appear at the bottom right of the display when you choose the built-in program.
6. On each slave device, press <SET/ESC> until <SET Menu> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
7. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select <Master/Alone> and press <ENTER>.
