Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Dale Wi understand that already but what i dont understand is that i went to the steps and i think i messed some steps some where. This is the list of steps i got form someone off of here maybe its u. it just the short one.1.We need to set up the Configuration in the sequence editor so that we know which unit and what channel are assigned to each horizontal line of the sequence.2. Each Sequence whether animation or musical is set up in a grid pattern, horizontally is in reference to time vertically is set to each assigend channel.3. After sequence is complete it needs to added to a show using the show editorall of above is where i dont understand i guess.u have several options then thay list them. Q. do u have to use all of them or just one?4.after the sequence and show editor are complete we have to do the schedule editor it will set up whats shows are to be shown at what time and on what days.5. then we have load the LOR control panel then by right clicking the mouse on the light bulb on the lower right hand of your task bar u must select enable shows.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Which model LOR controller do you have?Was it already built... or was it a kit?Are you using the serial adaptor or USB?Do you have the Demo (free!) software, or did you purchase it?What kind of cable are you using to connect from the converter to the controller? (Cat5 or phone cord) ?How long is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ok...Start by opening up the Seq editor...Click on "File" then "New" then "Animation sequence"type in your name...then change 8 to 16 in number of channels to use....1 second spacing...Uncheck "Loop"Click OK at the bottom...A grid with 16 channels should pop up... with events spaced .1 seconds apartThe channels will be labeled "Channel1", "Channel2", and so on...Move the mouse over the name of "Channel1" clik on the name...Click on "Change Channel settings"....Name it what you want...pick a color.... click on LOR for device type... pick 1 for Unit , and 1 for Circuit (Circuit is the same as channel on the board)Is this making sense so far?

This is exactly the sort of stuff we need to help you out.There are a couple of things to check:1) Make sure you have the right COM port set up in the sequence editor: In the editor, look under the Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences menu. Make sure the "LightORama Network" setting is correct.2) Open a sequence. Click on one of the channel names. Select "Change Channel Settings". This should say "LightORama Controller" under device type, and Unit shoudl match the Unit ID that is assigned inside the Showtime controller (see your user doc on how to change that). Also assign a circuit (1-16) You need to do this for every channel.Try those and let us know how it works out.-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
