How to trigger my show with PC clock and calendar
Available only in First Class version
2004 Software
can be triggered by Time (PC clock and calendar). This feature is available only in
First Class
version and is very useful for architectural lighting. You must open the following window
to setup time triggering ("Button" menu, then "Settings"). The button you want to trigger must be
selected before to open this window!
First of all, we must click on "Enable" to modifiy the settings. Several options are available to trigger
a button (scene, switch or cycle):
Appointed time
Select what time you want to start your button.
Repeating time slot
Imagine you want to start the same sequence every 30 minutes from 10 am to 3 pm. You must
setup 10H00 in the "From" box, then 15H00 in the "to" box and finally 0H30 in the "Repetition" box.
Unsettled time (Sunset)
Imagine you want to start a cycle every day following the sunset. You must use this option to do so.
First, select the "Date1" (first day) and the "Date2" (last day). Imagine you want to start your
sequence at 15H00 the first day and at 21H00 the last day, you must setup 15H00 in the "Time1"
box and 21H00 in the "Time2" box. The software will calculate the time for every day...
Do not forget to specify UP or DOWN. UP means that the triggering time will increase every day
(until the "Time2"), DOWN means it will decrease...
Finally, you must specify the days range in the "Date" area, you can specify every day, every
Sunday...
