removed
from
the
output

Fade To Black
- The DMX Input
values and any memory or
sequence being output are faded
to black (0%) over 3 seconds.
Fade To Memory
- If the dimmer
is not outputting a memory or
sequence, the outputs fade to the
specified backup memory. If the
dimmer is outputting the backup
memory, the outputs fade to that
memory.
If
the
dimmer
is
outputting a different memory or
sequence, the outputs will fade or
snap to the memory or sequence.
In
Stand Alone Mode

statements apply to all dimmer
