Port Triggering*, Jumping and Looping
Scenes can be triggered via the DMX interface’s dry contact ports. The
port is set within the scene properties window of the Edit tab. See the
‘Dry Contact Ports’ topic for more information. *Available as an upgrade
(Additional Charge)
A scene can be set to loop a certain number of times and then jump to
another scene. These settings can be found within the scene properties
window of the Edit tab.
Time Triggering*
Some interfaces include a clock and calendar allowing a scene to be automatically recalled at a certain time of day or a certain
day or date when the device is in Stand Alone mode*. To add a time trigger to a scene, right click the scene in the Stand
Alone window and select ‘Time Trigger’. *Available as an upgrade (Additional Charge)
There are 3 ways to trigger a scene :
Appointed time : set a time of the day when a scene is triggered.
Repeating time slot : Re-trigger a scene several times between a start and end time (if you have a
scene set to Always Loop, this function will restart the scene).
Sun Time : Triggers a scene at sunrise and sunset (compatible device required). Check that the
location settings are correct within the Hardware Manager application.
By default, the time set will be triggered every day. This can be changed to just 1 day each year (for example, maybe you would
like to have your lights green on St Patricks day) or every day between 2 dates. You can also select a scene to trigger on a
certain day of the week, or a certain day of the week between 2 dates. The days of the week can be found at the bottom of the
date selection box.
NOTE: It is not possible to set a time to turn a scene off from the calendar. The scene will be activated until another is triggered.
