High End Systems AF1000 user manual Random Function Programs, Advance Programs, Lightning Programs

Random Function Programs

Immediately following the Standard Programs are three Random Function Programs. This set of programs is not dependant upon the number of assigned channels. Random Function Programs are annotated by F 1 , F 2 , and F 3 on the value display. This set of programs perform the following actions:

•F 1 –multiple fixtures will flash in a random pattern, but only one fixture will flash at maximum Intensity at a time.

•F 2 –single fixtures will flash in a random pattern and randomly go to full Intensity.

•F 3 –all fixtures will flash in a random pattern, one fixture at a time (sequentially) at random intensities.

Advance Programs

Following the Random Function Programs are the Advance Programs. The Advance Programs are annotated by A 1 through A 8 on the display. Advance Programs will randomly select from the available Standard Programs (refer to Table 2.1 for the available programs per channels). A 1 is the fastest Rate of program advancement and A 8 is the slowest Rate of program advancement.

Lightning Programs

The final set of programs are the Lightning Programs. These programs were specifically designed to emulate ground to cloud and inner cloud lighting at various distances. They are annotated by L 1 through L 7 on the display. The Lightning Programs operate differently from the previous programs. You may start and stop a Lighting Program three ways:

•hold the < flash> key down to begin the program and release the key to stop the program.

•press the < STANDBY> key (take the Mini Controller off Standby Mode) to begin the program and press the key again to turn Standby Mode on again and stop the program.

•by using Audio parameter 9 and an audio signal to trigger the start of the Lightning Program. Refer Audio Mode found later in this Chapter for further clarification.

Refer to the Addendum for the descriptions of the Lightning programs.
