lights on without a show running

[julyd77]

This is the first year I have used this product and I have Christmas sequence package. I am trying to figure out how to keep the lights on between shows and sequences. I am also trying to figure out how to schedule the lights to shut off at a certain time.

 

Can someone please help me??????

Are you controlling the show with a PC or one of the directors (and if so, which one)?

[godman]

Are the lights you want to keep on part of a static display or do you mean you want to play a sequence then keep those same lights that were in the sequence on after the sequence is over?

There's an option in the show editor to turn off all lights between sequences. You should "uncheck" that option and save. Then, in each sequence, at the very end, fade up or turn on what you wish to be on during whatever delay you set for between sequences. The delay is also decided in the show editor

Ok, so your new to this...

 

Step 1 should be to read all the tutorials. but I'll break it down

 

1. create sequences

2. use those sequences to make a show (using the show editor)

3. Use the Scheduler editor to set up when the shows play

4. Start The Control Panel and enable shows

5. Watch the lights flash

 

To keep lights on between shows..... Make another show that contains a sequence that has the lights you want set to on.

Then schedule that show to run between the animated shows.

 

and if you want lights to stay on between sequences, then make sure the sequence does not shut them off at the end

and in the show editor do not check the box "turn  lights off between sequences"  and remember that they will not shut

off until the next sequence you run tells them to turn off.

 

Also look into background sequences , they are sequences that just run all the time while your show is on. Use them to

run thinks like Blowers in inflatables, signs, and other things not used in the animated sequences.
