On the Spectre only the channels marked in bold are used (the
third, fourth, sixth and eighth above the DMX address set on the
DIL switches)
This mode can be used from a controller such as the Merlin, in
order to access the automatic colour scrolling and flashing.
Alternatively, the
DMX 3-channel mode
(see page 8) uses fewer
channels, and if flashing or colour scrolling were required, it could
be written as a program in the Merlin.
The colour is continuously variable: for example, orange will be
found mid-way between red and yellow, and purple between blue
and magenta.
The saturation control allows every pastel shade between the
deepest possible colour ("fully saturated") and white to be
selected.
To set up the Spectre, set the saturation control to zero, then set
the brightness to the level required, and then set the colour. If a
paler shade of the colour is required, increase the saturation
control as required.
If operating from a controller, refer to the instructions supplied
with the controller regarding how to set the address switches.
