What happens now? The projector obediently performs the switching instructions but still does
not show the slides. To show the slides, the projector lamp must be switched on and at the momen

Already you need to modify your mini-program (we deliberately arranged it this way). There i

In the example chosen, this instruction should go at the start of the program. To do this, use
the cursor keys to move the program step which is to be replaced by the program step to be inserted
(in this case: FRAME 1) to the input line and press function key F4 (insert FRAME). All the pro
ram steps immediately move down one line thus leaving an empty input line for item 1. Insert
the instruction LIGHT A at this point and the program now looks as foll

Notice that as soon as the ENTER key is pressed, the lamp of projector A is lit although the
projection surface remains unlit. The projection surface is not lit until the second instruction
(SLIDE A1) is executed.
The state of affairs is now as follows:
The S-RA2500 provides the facility of selecting a slide without immediately projecting it. The
slide remains in the magazine and the slide lifter „stands at the ready“, i.e. it waits for an in-
struction to lower the slide into the slide gate. This position is referred to as the „SELECT
position“ and, in cases where several projectors with different search times are used, makes it
possible to project the selected slides simultaneously.
The Editing System therefore has two different instructions to select a slide: the SLIDE in-
struction which automatically lowers the slide lifter after it has reached the required location
and the SELECT instruction which leaves the slide lifter in the wait position until you use the
OPEN instruction to transport the slide to the slide gate at the required moment.
Because the projector behaves as if it had just received a SELECT A0 instruction as soon as it
is switched on, its slide lifter is still in the SELECT position and remains so until this position
is cancelled by the SLIDE A1 instruction in line 2.
