16-2-3. Transitions Using Event Recall
The RATE item in the EVENT menu allows users to set the duration time (transition rate) for
loading events. With this duration time, transition sequences of two steps (statuses before
and after recalling events) can be performed. The two images (keyframes) before and after
recalling events that appear on program screens are automatically interpolated to create a
smooth transition in the same way as the Sequence feature. The RATE setting is made when
events are stored. It can also be set and changed when events are recalled.
Operation Example
The following operation example shows an event that is saved to EVENT No. 10 with 150
frames for RATE and it is recalled while changing RATE to 30 frames.
Saving the Event
(1) Press EVENT in the MEMORY block to display the [EVENT MEMORY] menu.
(2) Turn F1 to select PAGE 1 (Events No. 10-19).
EVENT : PAGE :DIRECT :PAGECLR:RATE : 1/3
MEMORY : =
1
: =ON : >CRNT : =OFF : L=0
(3) Press STORE to display the [EVENT STORE] menu.
(4) Press F4, enter 150 in the Keypad then press ENTER.
EVENT :SELECT : XPT : DATA : RATE : 1/3
STORE : =ALL : =ON : =ON : =
150
:P.01
If setting RATE to 150 in the [EVENT MEMORY] menu, the initial value for RATE in the
[EVENT STORE] menu will always be 150 (the default value).
(5) Press 0 in the Keypad to save the current panel status to Event No. 10.
Loading the Event
(1) Press EVENT in the MEMORY block to display the [EVENT MEMORY] menu.
(2) Turn F1 to select PAGE 1 (Event Nos. 10-19).
(3) Press 0 in the Keypad to recall Event No. 10. The [EVENT RECALL] menu will be
displayed.
(4) Turn F4 to change the RATE value from 150 to 30.
EVENT :SELECT : XPT : DATA : RATE : 1/3
RECALL : =ALL : =ON : =ON : =
30
:P.01

frames.
