VL10 BeamWash Control Channel Functions
Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset and partial recalibration. These
must be executed with zero time transition or with timing disabled. Discrete values must be used;
not manual controls such as faders or encoders (see chart below for values).
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Partial Recalibration - resets only the target mechanism (color, gobo, zoom, etc.) without
affecting others.
