see the Resetting the Controller section.
Triggering a Stand-Alone Sequence
In the Hardware Utility, when you download a
standalone sequence, you can specify what trigger
condition will be used to start that sequence. A
standalone sequence can be triggered one of two
ways: Power on and Input Control.
Power On Mode
This means that the sequence will run anytime that
power is supplied to the controller. You plug it in
and it plays until you unplug it.
Input Control Mode
This uses an input on the controller to determine
when the sequence will run. When the input switch
is on, the sequence will run one time and then
check to see if the switch is still on. For more
information on trigger conditions see the help for
the Hardware Utility.
For information on how to connect the switch to the
controller, see the Input Header section.
Troubleshooting
