Programming Control Functions

Patterns

Up to 16 Patterns may be stored in the memory of the TLC 16 and may be recalled at the
touch of a pad.  A Pattern may be either a single scene (static scene) or a sequence of scenes
(chase).  All programming is stored in non-volatile memory which retains information for at
least 10 years, even when power is removed.

Quick
Programming
Chase Patterns

A chase pattern consisting of steps in which the lights are either fully on or fully off may
be programmed very quickly for any of the Pattern pads.  The Bump pads are used to create
the chase steps.  Follow these steps to quick program a chase:

1.

Tap the Program pad until the LED above it lights.  If the LED does not light, the memory
lock is on (see Console Configurations)..

2.

Select the pattern to program by tapping one of the 16 Pattern Select pads causing the LED
above the pad to flash.  This will erase the current memory programming for this pad.

3.

Touch and hold the desired Bump pads(s) for this step of the chase.  The levels will not
appear on the stage but will be displayed on the channel level LEDs.

4.

Releasing all the bump pads will automatically program this step into memory.  Repeat step
3 until the desired number of steps is programmed.

5.

Tap the Blackout pad to exit from the programming mode.

Programming
Chase Using
Latches.

Static scenes or Chase sequences involving more channels and complexity  may be programmed
into any of the Pattern Select pads using the Latch Pads..  

Follow these steps to program patterns using the Latch Pads:

1.

Tap the Program pad until the LED above it lights.  If the LED does not light, the memory
lock is on.

2.

Select the pattern to program by tapping one of the 16 Pattern Select pads causing the LED
above the pad to flash.  This will erase the current memory programming for this pad.

3.

Select the channels to be ON using the latch pads.

4.

Tap the Program pad to program this step into memory.

5.

If programming a static scene, tap the Blackout pad now to exit the programming mode.

If programming a chase pattern, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the desired number of steps is
programmed.  Tap the Blackout pad when done to exit the programming mode.

NOTE: If the Program LED extinguishes before the blackout pad is tapped, the memory
is full.
