Consider a sequence as being similar to a spreadsheet; a
simple sequence would consist of 3 columns of
information that would look as follows:
Programming of sequences can best be described by
going through the above example. Initiate the
programming mode by pressing PROGRAM. Enter an
available sequence number (1 to 60 for most Allegiant
models; 1 to 256 for LTC 8900 systems), then press
ENTER. The on-screen monitor display will change to
the following format:
1st Line =
Camera (Ignore)
S0001
L0001
Time (Ignore)
2nd Line =
>C0001<
M001
D02
Date (Ignore)
The top line of the display always indicates the current
step being viewed, in the S0001 section. Total length of
the sequence is displayed in the L0001 section.
When programming a new sequence, the camera
number that was being viewed before entering the
programming mode is automatically placed within the >
< prompts (as in the above example showing camera
number C0001 on the 2nd line). Enter the first camera of
the sequence into this position. If the camera number is
correct, no action is necessary. If not, enter the desired
camera number via the keypad, and press ENTER.
Using the joystick control, move to the RIGHT one step.
The prompts will shift over to the monitor number
shown above as M001. The monitor that was being
controlled by the keyboard before entering the
programming mode defaults to this position. If it is
correct, no action is necessary. If not, enter the desired
monitor number via the keypad, and press ENTER.
Move RIGHT again. The prompts now shift over to the
dwell time shown above as D02. The default dwell time
for a new sequence is two seconds. If a different dwell
period for this step is desired, change the value to any
number between 1 and 60. One line is now complete.
Press NEXT to add a second line. The camera number
automatically increments, but monitor number and dwell
remain the same as the first line. Since this line is
correct, no change is necessary and NEXT may be
pressed three more times, until line five is reached. Note
that the joystick can be used to move around within the
spreadsheet, but only the NEXT key adds new lines.
Continue entering camera, monitor, and dwell times in
the same fashion until finished.
To store the sequence for future use and then exit
programming mode, press PROG. If you press RUN,
the programming mode exits, the sequence is stored into
memory, and the sequence begins to run. The switcher
steps through the five steps in the order shown, and
repeats the sequence when it reaches the last step.
To program a sequence that runs once through its steps
and then stops, enter the value 62 for the dwell time in
the last step, and press ENTER. The dwell display will
change to the STP indicator, meaning stop. To program
a sequence that runs once through its steps, and then
unloads itself, enter the value 63 for the dwell time in the
last step and press ENTER. The dwell display changes
to ULD, meaning unload.
To edit an existing sequence, press PROG, enter the
existing sequence number, and then press ENTER. You
can insert a line into a sequence by navigating to the
appropriate line and pressing ON. An identical line will
be added to the next step. To delete a step, navigate to
the line and press OFF. To delete all steps below the line
you’re viewing, press LOCK. (Be careful with this
feature!)
To completely erase a sequence, press LOCK while on
the first line of the sequence, and then press OFF. The
sequence is then erased, and programming mode
automatically exits.
