Device Times - Introduction

A Moving Device can have Times and Delays in the following ways.

No time - follows the Sequence Step In-time.

Parameter group times - an attribute time for FOCUS, COLOR or BEAM

parameters.

FCB times - Same as above, but there is a shortcut for setting all three

Device parameter times - A time for each attribute of a Moving Device.

NOTE
All times are set to the Preset in the A or B field depending on the
setting of the parameter "

Set Times To Field

" in the Congo Settings.

All attribute times are stored with a Preset.

There is a default Attribute Time that is used when Moving Devices are positioned manually
or with GoInB. See

Moving Device Times - Default Attribute Time

.

Default Attribute Time (6.2)

The Default Attribute Time (3 seconds) is used mainly to keep noise and unnecessary
mechanical friction down when a Moving Device is positioned in the following situations:

• When attributes are executed from Independents

• When copying Blind attributes to Live

• When using Stop table for an old dynamic

• When you press Home Attributes

• When jumping in the sequence

• Using REFRESH in the Main Playback

To change this time see

Attribute Settings

.

NOTE
The Default Attribute Time does not affect how fast a palette is
activated from direct selects or directly. This time can be set on the
fly - for example #(s) DIRECT SELECT PALETTE.
