input together so it is always active. Whenever the

Show Pause Reset Input

is programmed active, the inputs that are set to be logged will automatically
be logged.

Input logging actually takes place at the instant that the

Log Belts Button

,

Remote Log Belts Input

, or

Show Pause Reset Input

are released. The LED

next to the

Log Belts Button

will light whenever the seat belts are being

logged.

C) Show Start Buttons

(Eight Buttons)

The Kp-300 has been designed to support up to eight shows which can

be directly accessed. If more shows are needed, these

Show Start Buttons

can be bypassed with a Kp-100 or Kp-200 to allow access to the Smart Brick
Systemʼs 255 show capacity.

Which shows are available to the user (which of these eight

Show Start

Buttons

are enabled), is controlled as a function of the motion profile running

on the Smart Brick System. Enabling a

Show Start Buttons

just requires set-

ting the appropriate

Show Start Button Enable Inputs

in the motion profile.

Any or all of the

Show Start Buttons

can be enabled/disabled at any time.

The

Show Start Button LEDs

next to these buttons are also controlled as

part of the motion profile. This allows the

Show Start Button LEDs

to be pro-

grammed on, off or flashing as desired at any point in time.

Typically the

Show Start Buttons

are programmed as active during the E-

Stop and Load/Unload shows. During the main shows, typically none of
them are enabled. If any are enabled, then the user can jump directly out of
the currently running show and into the one(s) that have been enabled. This
is sometimes used to enable a ʻparkʼ show that brings the motion base home
without having to do anything as drastic as an E-Stop. Any show that is en-
abled while another show is running will be enabled even during a show
pause. Make sure that if you are using this technique, that the show that is
jumped into has the

Show Pause Reset Input

set for at least a few frames at

the beginning. Otherwise the new show will begin running, but the Show
Pause functions of the Kp-300 wonʼt be reset (the

Show Pause LED

will re-

main lit, and the next Show Pause event will be ignored). At the end of the
pulse on the

Show Pause Reset Input

, the Kp-300 will check for an out-

standing Show Pause condition. If one still persists, then the new show will
be paused.
