Sequencer Record: When the TogglodyteÕs sequencer Record/Playback mode has been se-
lected under the Setup command, this button is used to prepare the Togglodyte for recording
a sequence. When it is pressed, the word ÔrecÕ will appear on the LCD display to show that the
Togglodyte is ready to record. This will cancel itself out after approximately 5 seconds if no
other button is pressed. When the Start/Stop Sequencer button is pressed, the ÔrecÕ on the dis-
play will change to a ÔRECÕ and any movements on the TogglodyteÕs analog or digital inputs
(depending on the analog/digital mode) will be recorded. Recording is terminated by pressing
the Sequencer Start button again, or when the Togglodyte runs out of memory (the recording
capacity is approximately 6000 frames).
Start/Stop Sequencer: The TogglodyteÕs sequencer is used to send signals to the outputs of the
animation system without having to manually operate the Togglodyte. This allows you to pulse
a digital, or send a programmed sequence to an analog function while you set down the
Togglodyte to work on the figure. This button starts the sequencer running the first time it is
pressed, and stops it the second time. While the sequencer is running, entry into the Assign or
Setup modes is disabled. There are two modes of operation for the sequencer:
a) Record/playback: This allows you to record a sequence on any single eight bit channel
(analog or digital) and play it back. The source of the recorded data can be your button
presses and knob twisting on the Togglodyte, or it can record the data coming in from a
preprogrammed sequence from the programming console input (when operating in
Console Mode), the 1/4 J6 input (when operating in J6 mode), or the incoming DMX-
512 data stream (when operating in DMX-512 mode). This allows you to record a short
piece of a particularly troublesome show for playback and testing. When you write the
configuration to the TogglodyteÕs EEprom, the first 500 or so bytes of any recorded se-
quence will be saved permanently. This sequence will be available the next time the
Togglodyte is turned on.
b) Timer: This mode is typically used to test digital functions. It has two modes of opera-
tion:
1) Two Phase Mode: All the digitals that are assigned will be turned on for
the time period set by Timer A (all timers are adjustable from 0 to 9.9 sec-
onds through the Setup mode). it then turns all of the digitals off for the
period set by Timer B and repeats. This allows any of the digitals to be cy-
cled on and off together.
2) Four Phase Mode: Digitals 0, 2, 4 and 6 will be turned on for the time pe-
riod set by Timer A if they are currently assigned. The Togglodyte then
turns all of the digitals off for the period set by Timer B. Digitals 1, 3, 5 and
7 will be turned on for the time period set by Timer C if they are currently
assigned. All of the digitals are then turned off again for the period set by
Timer D and the whole sequence repeats. This allows pairs digital outputs
to be cycled on and off alternately. All timers are adjustable from 0 to 9.9
seconds through the Setup mode.
