4BAR™ Tri USB User Manual Rev. 2
Master/Slave
Expansion
Mode
The Master/Slave Expansion mode allows a single 4BAR™ Tri USB product (the master)
to control the actions of one or more Tri-color LED USB products (the slaves), such as a
COREpar™ USB, SlimPAR™ USB, or Freedom™ Par, without the need of a DMX
controller, with the use of the optional D-Fi™ USB (not included). The 4BAR™ Tri USB will
be set to operate in either standalone mode or with the footswitch, while the slave products
will be set to operate in slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will
operate as directed by the 4BAR™ Tri USB.
