2-2 To define the format of lighting fixtures by user
STEP-1: User can define the format by himself if the fixtures are not in the data bank.
EX. We take the Leo scanner as an example,
CH1=PAN, CH2=TILT, CH3=COLOR / GOBO, CH4=SHUTTER, CH5-CH14=OFF.
STEP-2: Press “FNC”, then press “988”,
( Please key in the channel number for Pan.)
STEP-3: Press “+ 4” key to define Tile.
STEP-4: Press “ENTER” to confirm.
This function simply defines the pan and tile to the joystick.
STEP-5: Press “FNC 981” and select “1: ANY COMPANY” after the fixture was set.
