Sequences
The Chilli Master Controller can be
programmed with 3 sequences per
area (ie a total of 30 sequences).
Each sequence contains up to a
maximum of 12 steps. Each step in a
sequence is a reference to one of the
programmed memories in the area.
When playing a sequence from the
Master Controller, it sends out play
memory/area messages to the
networked dimmers, which then
respond accordingly.
The Master Controller can play up to
10 different sequences simultaneously,
provided that each sequence is in a
different area.
A memory and sequence in the same
area cannot be output simultaneously
