been clicked. The red color indicates the controls that have not yet been used for
the macro in active edit mode.
All red marked channels do not change the value of
the respective DMX channel when calling the macro.
If a scrollbar is set to a value, the red box color
changes to green and the specified DMX value is put
out. The visualization of active and non-active
channels through color code is made to avoid any
unwanted behaviour of the macros later.
Hit “Save” to save the very macro.
Macro-Steps 11.2.
11.2.1. Button: New Step
A click on this button adds a new step to the macro
after the active one.
11.2.2. Button: Delete
A click on this button deletes the active macro step.
11.2.3. Button: Insert
A click on this button adds a new step before the
active one.
11.2.4. Button: Seconds per Step
A click on this button opens a dialog to specify the
duration of a DMX macro step in seconds.
11.2.5. Scrollbars No. of intermediate steps/ ms per intermediate step
These scrollbars specify the fading behaviour between macro steps. The nominal
values of a new step are set in a delayed way with adding additional intermediate
steps (interpolation). Set the number of intermediate steps with the respective
scrollbar. 1 means, that the nominal values are taken as they are. Value 2 means
one intermediate step and so on.
With the scrollbar “ms per intermediate step” the delay for the intermediate steps is
set fixed.
A reasonable value is e.g. 30 or more milliseconds for each intermediate step (faster
is not recommended, because the laser output quality may become irritated that
way).
11.2.6. Buttons for setting the direction
The buttons with arrows specify the playback direction of the Macro sequence –
normal order, reverse or alternating. It is important to consider which playback
direction is actually set if steps are to be inserted or changed in general, as the
playback direction applies for these actions too.
