Sequences
The
Chilli
Dimmer
can
be
programmed with up to 3 different
sequences, each containing a
maximum of 12 steps.
In
Stand Alone Mode
- Each step
in a sequence is a reference to
one of the programmed memories
in the dimmer.
In
Network
Mode
-
Each
sequence is associated with a
specific area. Each step in a
sequence is a reference to a
memory in that area, but the
memory does not have to be
programmed in the dimmer itself.
Each sequence also has a cross-
fade
and
dwell
time
which
determines how the sequence
runs:
X-Fade Time
- The cross-fade
time is the time it takes to fade
between two steps in a sequence.
The default crossfade time is 1
second.
Dwell Time
- The dwell time is the
time that the outputs remain on
the values in the current step of
the sequence before fading to the
next step. The default dwell time is
1 second.
