OmniSistem Q Scan - Manual (Page 28)

With the Q-Scan Expansion Set:
If the memory module is attached then the selected group/scene will be played. It can be interrupted, mid
scene, to do another mode or start another scene. Scenes can be added to the script player.
If the script step time is less than the duration of the scene being played then the scene will be aborted and
the next step will be executed.
If the script step time is greater (IE: Maximum) then the script stepper will auto advance after the scene has
been played.
Without the Expansion Set:
If you have attached a standard 25-pin parallel cable from your PC to the laser and your printer port is
standard LPT1 then you may RIGHT MOUSE click on the button.
A file select window will open and allow you to specify a FILENAME.BIN animation file to be played.
To avoid the printer drivers supported by Windows, the selected .BIN file is copied directly to the LPT1 port
printer spooler.
The animation will play just once and then the laser unit will shut off.
If you simply attempt to click the ON button and no data is spooled then the unit will play the default
animation or still of the group selected.
If you interrupt the animation from the LPT1 source then the spool is emptied before another is allowed to
begin.
Please allow this type of animation to play itself out before starting another or else the results may be
unpredictable.
The Red LED on the back of the Q-Scan will be off during animations and comes on again when the spool is
empty.
This special animation play mode can not be scripted.
The parallel cable should be less than 25 feet long for best results.
More Lightspeed animations will be made available from OmniSistem Lights and Effects. Stay tuned to
www.omnisistem.com for the latest support and accessories for the Q-Scan PC/DMX.
To create your own animations simply purchase the Mynx Lyte program from OmniSistem. It is a simple
vector editor for creating custom stills and animations in Hi-Res (.2DV) and Lo-Res (.BIN) formats. Or you
can purchase Mynx Lyte with Trace-It software.
