When turned on the timed playback fader level sets the size from zero to the
programmed time when the fader level is at full. This allows fading of size.

transition between shapes.

5. Built in Personality files
Page 27 and 43 of the manual
The console can now store personality files in flash memory. This means you
no longer need to carry around disks so you can patch your show. (Hooray
for everyone except the disk manufacturers!).
NOTE: You can only use the built in files if Extended Memory is fitted.
You still have the option of using personality files from disk. Disk files will be
used if a disk is in the disk drive when you select Softbutton B [Choose a
Fixture] from the patch menu, if no disk is located in the drive the desk will
open the built in personality files.
NOTE: to use built in files, the disk drive must be empty. If there is a disk in the drive you will get the
message, NO FILES FOUND.
5.1 Installing built in Personality files
After upgrading your software you must install the built in Personality files.
Do this as follows:
• Turn the key to SYSTEM
• Press Softbutton G [UTILITIES]
• Place a disk containing the file P2000PER.CMP.
