LightJockey Help
Auto Reconnect
The auto reconnect option found in the preferences menu will prompt LightJockey to automatically
attempt a connection to the 2518 every 2 seconds.
The option may lead to a slightly slower execution of LightJockey itself and is best left off if no 2518 is
connected to the PC.

2518 controller via RS-232, mode 1
Mode 1 of the LightJockey 2518-RS232 interface is supported by all 2518 firmware revisions. In order
to use the 2518 it must first be configured in the hardware setup, make sure to de-select the 2518
Mode 2 option in the dialog.
Once configured the 2518 control is available via the icon on the cue list tool bar.
The 2518 control (mode 1)
Under normal circumstances the 2518 will connect as remote control when LightJockey starts up -
however if the 2518 fails to connect, click connect to attempt to establish a connection between
LightJockey and the 2518. This also works if the 2518 is disconnected while LightJockey is running.
The online LED indicates the current 2518 connected state.

2518 Functions
The following functions are fixed and cannot be changed by the user:
DMX Channels buttons - the DMX channels buttons (the column of buttons leftmost on the 2518)
controls the sequence on/off State for the 6 first sequences in the cue control. The state is mimicked
by the LEDs on the 2518, LED on is sequence on, LED off is sequence off.
Faders - the faders of the 2518 is used to remote control the Master intensities. The leftmost fader
controls the Master intensity while the last 5 faders controls sub-masters 1-5.
Blackout button - the blackout button toggles the blackout/restore state of the LightJockey.
User definable functions:
Scenes buttons (Scenes 1-6) - the scenes buttons may be used as 'bump' buttons for the Master
Intensity control or may be used to flash 6 different sequences in the cue. When used as bump
buttons, the buttons may either be configured as bump-flash or bump-latch buttons (set in the
preferences menu). When used as sequence flash buttons, configure the buttons by dragging the
sequence from the list of sequences onto the line representing the button. Alternatively right-click on
the line and select Add Current Sequence to add the current sequence. To clear a button, right-
click the line and select Remove Sequence. A change in sequence configuration does not take
effect until saved.
