The RoboScan 812 supports tracking and vector mode. In tracking mode, speed is deter-
mined by the controller’s fade time. In vector mode, speed is determined by a value pro-
grammed on a separate DMX channel.

 

For smooth movement in vector mode, the

controller’s fade time must be set to 0, i.e., the position must bump from the current value to
the next.

 If the RoboScan 812 is set to run vector mode, tracking mode can be enabled by

programming the speed channels to 0.
