Scene storeage
Storing scenes may only be done when the system is unlocked.
To store a scene, first display the position you wish to store the scene in on the left hand window
by using the jog wheel. Scene 0000 is a preset scene and can not be overstored. Once the required position
is displayed press the ‘STORE’ button. The display will respond with ‘NEW’, if the scene does not yet
exist or ‘OVERSTORE’ if the scene does exist.
Following a scene store operation, the scene number is incremented by 1 or 0.1 depending on wether the
scene was expanded previously.
Scene recall
Recalling scenes is achieved using the ‘LAST’, ‘NOW’ and ‘NEXT’ buttons, and also using the
jogwheel.
Pressing the ‘NEXT’ button causes the system to step to the next scene number in memory and
recall it to the console. After the last scene has been recalled, pressing ‘NEXT’ will cause the display to
show ‘END’ and no other operation will occur.
Pressing the ‘LAST’ button causes the system to step to the previous scene number in memory
and recall it to the console. After the first scene has been recalled, pressing ‘NEXT’ will cause the display
to show ‘START’ and no other operation will occur.
Pressing ‘NOW’ will recall the scene number currently shown in the left hand section of the
display. This number may be adjusted using the jogwheel.
When the system is locked the jogwheel will only use the numbers of scenes that exist in memory.
No operations other than recall are available while the system is locked.
When the system is unlocked the jogwheel adjust the scene number in increments of one whether
the scene exists or not. Attempting to recall a scene number which does not exist will result in the
message ‘EMPTY’.
