Sequence Trig Types
The sequences downloaded to the 2510 must be assigned a default trig mode. The default trig mode
is automatically selected after 2510 power up or when re-entering list or sub list mode. If the 2510 is
to be used for automated purposes without user interaction it is important to set the right trig mode
before creating the download file.
The default trig mode is assigned by highlighting one or more sequences in the 2510 download list
and clicking one of trig mode icons on the right hand side.
Manual Trig - the sequence is only trigged by the [Manual] button on the 2510.
Auto Trig - the sequence is automatically trigged using the programmed scene time
Music Trig - the sequence is trigged using the microphone built into the 2510.
Music Trig/Random - the sequence is trigged using the microphone built into the 2510. If the
sequence contains more than 2 scenes a random scene in the sequence is selected.
Loops - Indicates how many times a sequence loops before the next sequence is loaded. Loops are
only used in list and sub-list mode.
Sub-List - Indicates to which sub-list the sequence is assigned.
File Menu
New 2510 list - clears the current 2510 download list.
Save 2510 List - Load 2510 List - It is possible to save and re-load 2510 files from the File menu of
the 2510 download list. Be aware that saving the file does not save the actual contents of the
sequences in the download file or the actual fixture configuration. It only saves references to the
sequences (sequence number), sequence attributes and selected fixture. This means that if the
fixture configuration or included sequences are modified, the contents of the 2510 download file is no
longer the same as before the modification.
It is also possible to save a binary image of the contents of the download file for download later, binary
files contain all needed data and is not affected by modifications. See binary 2510 files.
Options
Compress List - before the 2510 download list can be made into a download file, it must be
'compressed' removing any empty lines. This is done automatically when the download file is created.
Use the command to compress 'manually'.
Preferences
Auto Apply Fixture Selection - when this option is checked the last used fixture section will
automatically be applied when the file is re-loaded.
Force DBO - used for generating blackout values to be sent when the blackout button is pressed on
the 2510. If not checked, the 2510 download file will contain blackout values based on the selected
fixture profiles. If Force DBO is checked, 0 values will be sent on all DMX channels when the blackout
button is pressed on the 2510.
Set first Sequence as Startup Sequence Only - check this to assign the first sequence in the list to
be startup sequence only. If a dedicated startup sequence is assigned the 2510 list will designate the
first sequence as "SU" rather than "01". Subsequent lines are numbered "01" to "98" leaving room for
98 further sequences.
As a dedicated startup sequence, the sequence is loaded and executed right after the 2510 starts up.
The sequence will loop the number of times given by the loop count attribute. After startup the
sequence is no longer accessible on the 2510. Use a dedicated startup sequence to for example
strike discharge lamps in fixtures with lamp-on commands. Make sure that the sequence runs at
least as long as it takes fixtures to power on and be ready to receive the lamp on command (use
scene time and loops).
