(A) 2*Sine shape - positive amplitude = 255
(B) 2*Sine shape - positive amplitude = -255 (shape inverted)
(C) Sine shape - Positive and Negative amplitudes = 255
(D) Sine shape - Positive and Negative amplitudes = -255 (shape inverted)
Macro cycle time
The macro cycle time determines how fast the macro shape is 'traveled through'. The time interval
ranges from 0.4 seconds to 595 seconds (approx 10 minutes). That the distribution of cycle times is
not linear, the 'resolution' is much higher at lower time values. Note that the default value is 0, which
means that the macro is static.
Macro direction
Use the direction arrows to set the 'travel' direction of the macro (best seen when tracking offset
values). The bounce direction will automatically bounce the macro off either. Note that delay values
are not considered when bouncing the macro.
Restart macro on cue load
When enabled loading the macro in a cue will automatically restart the affected channels - for more
details see Generic DMX Macros, Channel Macro Index and delays. Note that the option will only
restart the macro channel indexes when the macro is actually loaded as part of a cue - not when the
macro is added to a cue, neither when the macro is loaded into the editor.
Macro parameter update
When disabled, manipulated parameters are not actually programmed - disable to select different
macro shapes and amplitudes without actually effecting the selected fixtures.
Generic macro delays
See generic DMX macro for details on delay and channel macro index. The macro delays and delay
order parameters are set on two different tabs.

Manually setting delay values
Delay (selected offsets).
Use this field to manually set the delay for one or more control channel offsets selected in the fixture
channel list. Maximum delay value is 8191. Right click the field to select often-used delay values
(expressed in percentages) from a popup menu. Note that the option to set the delay value manually
is disabled if Auto-apply delays (see below) is checked.
