3.7 Stand-alone operation
The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be
different for every fixture. To set the program to be played, see the "Stand-alone setting"
(
menu
"St.AL."
).
"Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single fixture or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is
set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).
To set the fixture as the master or slave, see the " Fixture Address " (menu "
A001"
).
Only one fixture can be set as the master.
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures. All fixtures have a definite,
synchronized starting point when playing back their programs. The number of running program is the same in all
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "
St.AL.
“). Every fixture runs its program repeatedly, starting the
program step No.1 when requested by the master.
Example:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continuously repeat its program until the master fixture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fixture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog. step 1 before it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.
Note:
Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data collisions
can occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
