Note: Some parameters have been excluded from the timing channels. Wheel spin and gobo rotation
rate changes are not affected by timing channels.
To use luminaire timing channels, you must:
Step 1. Create the cue, including color, beam, gobo and position as required.
Step 2. Decide which fixtures and which parameter groups will use timing channels.
Step 3. Assign a value to the particular timing channel(s) you wish to use (for timing information
see chart on next page).
Step 4. Set console timing for the luminaire’s parameters and timing channels to zero seconds.
Step 5. Store cue.
Note: Avoid changing timing channel values in a fading cue. This can cause unexpected behavior in
the luminaire as the timing channel value is updated over time. Timing channel values and the final
destination of the parameters affected by the timing channel should always be sent in a zero count.
Timing channels can be set in either % or 0-255 (DMX) modes, with the following values assigned:
