model lamp modes using the MODEL
icon button will select the same model
mode for all channels simultaneously. It is
recommended that you choose the
tracking mode (Model Icon half-active)
so that flashpower ratios and changes
may be observed via the modeling lamps.
In order to achieve "what-you-see-is-
what-you-get" modeling, each light unit
must produce the same ratio of model-
ing lumens to flashpower lumenseconds.
(That is to say a unit with more flash-
power must have a brighter modeling
lamp than a unit of lower flashpower is
correct visual preview is to result).
The operating manuals for all White
Lightning Ultra, UltraZap and X-Series
units contain detailed instructions on
how to accomplish this when mixing the
different models and units of different
flashpower ratings within a lighting setup.

press the up or down FLASHPOWER
buttons to increase or decrease the
Channel's flashpower by either 1/10 f-
stop (single arrow buttons) or by 1 f-
stop (double arrow buttons). The model
lamp brightness will (when model is set
to tracking) follow any change in the
flashpower setting.
The range of adjustment is from FULL
POWER (Display = 0.0 and all bargraph
segments are dark), through 1/74 power
(Display = -6.2 and only one bargraph
segment is dark).
2. In the same fashion, set the flash-
power of the remaining channels in your
system.
3. You may now quickly review the
exact flashpower to which any of the
various channels are set by pressing the
up or down CHANNEL buttons to
scroll through the channels while watch-
ing the LCD display to indicate the f-stop
settings.
The model lamp of each flash unit
will blink each time it is addressed,
