Consider a sequence as being similar to a spreadsheet; a simple sequence would consist of 3 columns of information that would look as follows:
CAMERA | MONITOR | DWELL |
|
|
|
1 | 1 | 2 |
|
|
|
2 | 1 | 2 |
3 | 1 | 2 |
|
|
|
4 | 1 | 2 |
5 | 1 | 2 |
Programming of sequences can best be described by going through the above example. Initiate the programming mode by pressing PROGRAM. Enter an available sequence number (1 to 60 for most Allegiant models; 1 to 256 for LTC 8900 systems), then press ENTER. The
1st Line = | Camera (Ignore) | S0001 | L0001 | Time (Ignore) |
2nd Line = | >C0001< | M001 | D02 | Date (Ignore) |
The top line of the display always indicates the current step being viewed, in the S0001 section. Total length of the sequence is displayed in the L0001 section.
When programming a new sequence, the camera number that was being viewed before entering the programming mode is automatically placed within the >
<prompts (as in the above example showing camera number C0001 on the 2nd line). Enter the first camera of the sequence into this position. If the camera number is correct, no action is necessary. If not, enter the desired camera number via the keypad, and press ENTER.
Using the joystick control, move to the RIGHT one step. The prompts will shift over to the monitor number shown above as M001. The monitor that was being controlled by the keyboard before entering the programming mode defaults to this position. If it is correct, no action is necessary. If not, enter the desired monitor number via the keypad, and press ENTER.
Move RIGHT again. The prompts now shift over to the dwell time shown above as D02. The default dwell time for a new sequence is two seconds. If a different dwell period for this step is desired, change the value to any number between 1 and 60. One line is now complete.
Press NEXT to add a second line. The camera number automatically increments, but monitor number and dwell remain the same as the first line. Since this line is correct, no change is necessary and NEXT may be pressed three more times, until line five is reached. Note that the joystick can be used to move around within the spreadsheet, but only the NEXT key adds new lines.
Continue entering camera, monitor, and dwell times in the same fashion until finished.
To store the sequence for future use and then exit programming mode, press PROG. If you press RUN, the programming mode exits, the sequence is stored into memory, and the sequence begins to run. The switcher steps through the five steps in the order shown, and repeats the sequence when it reaches the last step.
To program a sequence that runs once through its steps and then stops, enter the value 62 for the dwell time in the last step, and press ENTER. The dwell display will change to the STP indicator, meaning stop. To program a sequence that runs once through its steps, and then unloads itself, enter the value 63 for the dwell time in the last step and press ENTER. The dwell display changes to ULD, meaning unload.
To edit an existing sequence, press PROG, enter the existing sequence number, and then press ENTER. You can insert a line into a sequence by navigating to the appropriate line and pressing ON. An identical line will be added to the next step. To delete a step, navigate to the line and press OFF. To delete all steps below the line you’re viewing, press LOCK. (Be careful with this feature!)
To completely erase a sequence, press LOCK while on the first line of the sequence, and then press OFF. The sequence is then erased, and programming mode automatically exits.
