show on the computer not the same as outside

[sthobe]

when I make changes to my arch movements I go outside to see the changes but I see no difference.... what I see on the computer does not seem to be what is going on outside if I make changes to a sequence will the simple show also display my changes too?these darn arches were easier to build than they are to sequence what is up with that ....any help or arch sequences would be greatly appreciated also having a problem when model form is downloaded

This is a guess since you didnt say much about your setup, but sounds like you might be using one of the controllers as a master.

Depending on your controller, the show can play from the pc, or be transfered from the pc to the controller (and the computer can then be removed from the setup)

SO, I think maybe you are changing the show, but not uploading to the controller. (Im pretty sure you need a director card for this)

Otherwise, when you hit "play" on the pc - do lights start to turn on ?

if you make a new sequence with only 1 or 2 items defined, and play it - do those lights turn on or not ? Just do a basic test - all lights on for 10 secondsm then all lights off, then all lights on - just to see if everything is talking as it should.

You do need to "stop" the show and "restart" the show to pickup the changes. I made changes last year while cars were outside. I just waited until song #1 came back up. They never new.

he show outside shows the arches moving .I thought that maybe the timing was off so I decided that I would turn the arches off by scrolling all 8 channels and turn the channels off but the outside show still has the arches moving but not like I had planned in the first place. If the computer shows no animation for the arches why does the outside show have them moving?

It has to be because the outside show is not using the sequence you are working on.

Try modifying your sequence, save it, then build a whole new show using the modified sequence.

it was because my controller 2 was running the unit 1 show .setup the controller to unit 2 id now the show looks like it is suppose to....
