These are Complete and Interruptable.
Complete
The current running show will be outputted completely, before any new showselection is
possible.
Interruptable
The current running show will be aborted, when a new show is selected.
The following combinations are possible:
Loop/Complete
The current show always is displayed completely and will restart from the beginning,
when no new showselction is recognized at the end of the show.
Loop/Interruptable
The current show will be repeated, when no new show is selected. When selecting a
new show, the current running show will be aborted.
Oneshot/Complete
The show will be displayed completely, exactly one time
Oneshot/Interruptable
The show will be displayed exactly one time, but will be aborted when a new show is
selected.
Exceptions
Show number 0 (Pause) is always Loop/Interruptable.
Triggershows will be displayed only one time (Oneshot), because these shows will be
selected edge triggered.
Note
When a show is running in Complete-mode, all parameters like speed, size, offset,
framerepeat and blankshift will be held (also when controlled by DMX).
Otherwise, the parameters would be changed when selecting a new show during
playback of the current show.
The Pauseshow
16
Normally, the filename at show number 0 (Pause) is left blank.
When selecting Pause or after finishing playback, the laser is blanked and the output is
stopped.
In some special cases, for example when using the system as an advertising display
without DMX, it could be necessary to playback a show without any additional control.
When placing a show file to show number 0 (pause), this show always will be outputted,
when no other show is selected.
Useful combinations of display modes
Long shows should be interruptable to allow changing to another show.
Short shows or short effects should be set to Complete.
Single frames should be set to Loop, because otherwise they just will be displayed parts
of a second.
Special sequences as a highlight of a show should be set to Oneshot.
