10. Automating TouchPanel with Sequences and Cycles
Note: Unavailable with Designer Slave Mode
A Sequence allows you to execute a range of scenes automatically, by making connections between them called Links.
Each Link defines how long the scene associated with it will remain in use before the next scene is executed, and the fade
time that will be used for the transition. A Cycle is a Sequence that repeats indefinitely or until it is interrupted.
Starting and Stopping Sequences and Cycles
• To execute a Sequence or Cycle, recall any scene that is included in it. Once started, a Sequence or Cycle can be
interrupted at any time by selecting a scene that is not part of it (but within the same Scene Block).
• To start a Sequence or Cycle automatically, use a Scheduled Event to recall any scene used in the Sequence or Cycle.
• To stop a Sequence or Cycle automatically, use a Scheduled Event that recalls a scene not included in the Sequence or Cycle.
• The Sequence or Cycle will begin with the called scene, skipping the preceding scenes, and will continue the remainder
of the Sequence or Cycle.
To learn about assigning a scene to a button, see section 8.8.
To learn about creating a Scheduled Event, see section 9.2.
A Sequence or Cycle can be started by recalling any scene within it, with execution commencing from the recalled
scene. For example, if a Cycle includes scenes 5, 4, 3 and 2, when scene 4 is recalled, the Cycle will start with
scene 4, and continue to scenes 3 and 2, before returning to scene 5 when the Cycle repeats.
