9. Stand - alone mode
The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set program which can be
different for every fixture."Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single fixture (the fixture may be set
to the master or slave mode ) or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.Effect actions are triggered by
sound,using built-in microphone, or automatically using an internal timer.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them
is set as a master ("MSt") and the rest as the slaves ("SLA").Up to 32 fixtures can be connected in master/slave
chain.Only one fixture can be set as the master.The slaves mimic the behavior of the master.
Important!:
Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data col-
lisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
Time control:
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite, syn-
chronized starting point when playing back their programs.Every fixture runs its program repeatedly ,starting
the program step No.1 when requested by the master .
For example:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continously 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.
Audio control:
The sound beat starts program steps simultaneous in the master fixture and in the slave fixtures.Every fixture
runs its program repeatedly ,starting the program step when requested by the master.(Master is controlled by
sound and sends demand on the slaves to move them to the next prog.step).
Operating multiple fixtures in stand-alone mode.
1
.Select one fixture and set it as a master (Menu path: "St.A."--->"St.M."--->
MSt
).
2
.The rest of the fixtures set as slaves (Menu path: "St.A."--->"St.M."--->
SLA
).
3
.Build the master/slave chain.(See chapter DMX-512 connection and Master/Slave connection).
4
.Activate automaticaly program running after switching the fixtures on(Menu path: "St.A."--->"Aut."--->
On
).
5
.Set the program running options (Menu path: "St.A."--->"C.S.A.") on the master and slaves:
