Identical light shows
Master and slave fixtures can be set to behave identically. In this mode, the
master sends synchronizing signals to the slaves, and all fixtures run the
same light show. Each slave fixture follows the program set on its own DIP
switch, so for identical operation, all fixtures’ DIP switch settings must be the
same apart from pin 9, which is set to ON for slaves and OFF for the master.
Synchronized non-identical light shows
It is also possible to synchronize changes but program slave fixtures to
behave differently from the master. To use this feature effectively, you need
to plan your light show using
scenes as building blocks and set the fixtures’
DIP switches accordingly.
A scene is a change from one output to another. When a fixture is in slave
mode, it starts a scene when it receives a synchronization signal from the
master. The time taken by the scene is determined by the speed setting of
the DIP switch. A slave will not respond to new synchronization signals until
its scene is complete.
When crossfading is selected, each color takes up one scene (fade in only).
When blackout fading is selected, each color takes up two scenes (fade in
and fade out). This means that a maximum of 8 scenes can be programmed
with all 4 tubes activated and blackout fading selected.
Each time the master fixture starts at scene 1, it sends a signal to all the
slave fixtures to start at scene 1. This means that if a slave fixture has:
1. Fewer scenes than the master fixture, it will run these in a cycle until the
master fixture signals that the program should start from the beginning
again.
2. More scenes than the master, the additional scenes will never run,
because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts
its program from the beginning.
Here is an example of what will happen if a slave fixture has fewer scenes
than the master fixture:
Program examples
The following examples show how an individual fixture’s program is made
up of scenes.

Slave with 4 scenes 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 . . .
