You can set the controller to operate as either a master or a
slave (there can be only one master controller per link). Your
choice of master and slave controllers determines the
following:
•
The master controller determines the modes of playback
for all controllers that are slaved to it. The master
controller sets all standby, advance, and modulate
settings. Only the master controller accepts commands
from a lighting console, if any. Only one master
controller is allowed per link.
•
The slave (also called slaved) controllers retain their
programming and editing functions, but cannot play back
any programs. The accessible function keys on the
slaved controllers are the power key switch,
,
,
,
, and all of the Construct keys.
There is no limit to the number of slaved controllers that
can be attached to the master controller.
Switch B-1 Off (default; correct setting for a stand-alone
controller) – the controller functions as a master and
determines the modes of playback for all controllers that are
slaved to it. The slave LED indicator will be OFF when the
controller is set as a master. All front panel keys function
normally.
Switch B-1 On – the controller operates as a slave. The slave
controller can be connected the master controller via the
Slave port located on the rear panel of the controller. The
Slave LED located above the power key switch is ON when
the controller has been configured as a slave.
