FROG Function - LCD Display
The FROG function parameters
described in the previous section are
adjustable from the FROG Function
screen on the main LCD.
The FROG function parameters are
stored as part of the show data.
To display the FROG Function screen
press the FROG SCREEN button on
the front panel. The red light in the
FROG SCREEN button comes on.
The FROG Function screen contains
all the FROG function parameters.
Use the up and down arrow keys to
select a FROG function parameter.
Use the + and - keys to adjust the
selected FROG function parameter.
For example:
*** FROG FUNCTION **
Mode: < Auto >
Speed: < 100 >
Col Action:< Snap >v
Pressing the + or - key would switch
the Mode between Manual, Auto and
Sound to Light.
Press the down arrow key several
times to move the flashing cursor onto
another FROG function parameter, for
example:
*** FROG FUNCTION **
Col Action:< Snap >^
Col Min: < 100 >
Col Max: < 170 >v
Pressing the + or - key would toggle
the Colour Action between Snap and
Fade.
To exit the FROG Function screen and
return to the Memories, Submasters or
Outputs screen on the LCD, press the
FROG SCREEN button on the front
panel. The light in the FROG SCREEN
button goes out.
Setting Fixture Channels to
Output FROG Values
The method for setting fixture channels
to output FROG values is as follows:
1. Use the FIXTURE SELECTION
BUTTONS to select the required
fixture(s).
The red lights in the buttons
indicate the selected fixture(s).
2. Press one of the attribute
selection buttons (COLOUR,
BEAMSHAPE or POSITION) to
select the required attribute.
The red lights in the buttons show
which attribute is selected.
3. Press the FROG button. This sets
all the channels for the selected
fixture(s) and attribute to output
their current FROG values.
The Wheel LCD changes to show
FROG under each parameter
name instead of its normal value.
The subsequent outputs of the affected
channels is then determined by the
FROG function parameters.
The affected channels will continue to
output their FROG values until told to
do otherwise (by pressing the GO
button, raising a submaster containing
channel data or a memory above its
LTP trigger level, or stopped manually
with the control wheel - see below).
For example - select fixtures 1,2 and 3,
select POSITION, then press the
FROG button. All the Position channels
for fixtures 1,2 and 3 will output their
FROG values.
To set other channels for the selected
fixtures to output FROG values - press
a different attribute selection button,
then press the FROG button.
To set channels from other fixtures to
output FROG values - repeat the
above procedure.
To stop a fixture channel from
outputting FROG values - select the
required fixture and attribute, then
move the corresponding control wheel.
The WHEEL LCD will return to
showing the normal output value for
the channel.
Programming Fixture
Channel Data
Fixture channels may be set to output
FROG values instead of a normal fixed
value when programming memories or
channel data onto submasters.
Set the required fixture channels to
output FROG values using the method
described earlier, before pressing the
PROGRAM button to save the data to
the memory or submaster.
Editing Fixture Channel Data
Fixture channels may be changed from
normal values to FROG values or vice
versa when editing memories or
channel data on submasters.
The required fixture channels are set to
normal values or FROG values using
the methods described earlier.
Previewing Fixture Channels
When previewing a scene memory,
chase memory or channel data on a
submaster, the programmed value for
each fixture parameter is shown after
the list of generic channels.
If the channel has been programmed
as a FROG value rather than a specific
value, the LCD will show FRG instead
of the normal value.
Example 1 - Previewing a Scene:
Preview Memory 23
Fix 1 Cyan FRG^
Fix 1 Magenta FRG
Fix 1 Yellow FRGv
Example 2 - Previewing a Chase:
PrevMem 49 Step < 1>
Fix 1 Cyan FRG^
Fix 1 Magenta FRG
Fix 1 Yellow FRGv
Example 3 - Previewing Channel Data
on a Submaster:
Preview Sub 5-7
(Channel Data)
Fix 1 Cyan FRG^
Fix 1 Magenta FRGv
