Notes:
Default Values: *Denotes recommended console default settings.
Use of Timing Channels: The default value setting in the profile should be 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth
movement when using console timing. The Timing channel data should change as a snap. A zero value will give the
fastest move but without any smoothing, this can look steppy in console-timed moves.
To use a timing channel instead of console timing it is necessary to set the timing channel to the desired value and set cue
and/or parameter time to zero. A combination of time controls can produce unexpected results. Refer to “Luminaire
Timing” on page 48 for more information.
Timing Channel Control: The luminaire uses the timing channel value to calculate a smooth continuous movement for a
given time and transition.
