Macro Programming
You can define your own program, a macro, if none of the built-in programs suits your needs. The macro
consists of maximum 62 different, consecutive steps. For each step, you can choose among three effects
(ChangeColor, Twinkling, Fade). You can choose to include pan/tilt movements or to keep the head stationary.
The device will execute all defined steps in an endless loop.
The default macro consists of 3 steps: first ChangeColor, then Twinkling, then Fade.
Note: If you use “Reload Parameter” to reset the device (see General Settings), your customised macro is reset
to this default macro.
To define your own macro:
1. Press <SET/ESC> until <LED xxx> is displayed.
2. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select <LED Macro> and press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the desired setting.
