13. Edit
The Edit function allows the 10 inbuilt PR programs to be edited and customized.
The programs that can be edited are PR01 through PR10.
Each of the programs can have up to 99 scenes (SC01-SC99).
Each scene has 5 components that can be edited on the fixture.
They are the Red leds, the Green leds, the Blue leds, the White leds,
the Amber led, the time the scene is "played" and
whether the scene has a crossfade or just "snaps" in.
In the edit menu, the following is the flow diagram for programming.

= Enter in the flow diagram above.
When a component is chosen, for example the Red, the display will automatically show
the current dmx value. The fixture will output the color that the RGBWA is set to, for that scene.
Use the
↑
or
↓
buttons to change the value of the output for that color. Once the correct value is found
for the Red (for example R165), pressing Enter automatically advances to the next component which is
G (Green). Press enter if the Green dmx value is to remain the same or use the
↑
or
↓
buttons to
change. This process is repeated for Blue, White, Amber, Time and Fade. Pressing Menu at any time
will exit out of the Edit function.
So if the Program is just 4 scenes long how do you stop the fixture from going ad nauseam through all
99 scenes? Once the last scene is programmed then the scene following must be adjusted so all
components are at 0. So R must be at R000, G at G000, B at B000, W at W000, A at A000, T at T000
and finally F at F000.
