10. OPERATION 

  Operating Modes

: The Design Spot 300E™ can operate in six different modes. This next 

section will detail the differences in the operating modes. 

 

•  Auto  Program  Mode  (Master)  - 

The  fixture  will  chasing  through  the  built-in  programs, 

sending a DMX control signal to all other fixtures connect via DMX cables instruction for a 

synchronized light show.     

 

•  Auto Program Mode (Stand-alone) - 

The fixture will chase through the built-in program. 

This  feature  is  great  for  store  front  with  custom  logos,  where  as  the  logos  need  to  be 

displayed but the use of a controller is unwanted. 

 

•  Music Control Mode (Stand-alone) - 

The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the 

built-in programs. Great for small clubs or DJ that do not want to bother with programming.

   

   

•   Music Control Mode (Master/Slave) -

 

You can daisy chain up to 16 fixtures together to 

get  a  synchronized  light  show  without  the  need  of  an  external  controller.  The  fixtures  will 

react to sound, chasing to a synchronized light show.   

 

•  Set  To  Slave  – 

This function will set the fixture to slave mode for use in either the auto 

program or music control program modes

 

 

•  DMX control mode -

 

This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits 

with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2. 

 

10.1 

Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Program or Music Control):

 This mode allows a   

 

 

single fixture to run to the built-in programs with or without sound. Only use this   

 

 

mode when running a single fixture, or when running several fixtures as individuals. 

  Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner. 

 

 For functionality without sound control:

 Access the “Function” menu and 

select  the  “Auto  Program”  function,  this  will  give  you  access  to  the  “Auto 

Program”  submenu.  See  page  21  for  the  menu  breakdown.  Once  in  the 

“Auto Program” submenu select “Alone”   

 

For functionality that chases to sound:

 Access the “Function” menu and 

select the “Music Control” function, this will give you access to the “Music
