Mini Controller Operation
In this chapter you will:
❑ learn to operate the Mini Controller
❑ learn how to select the desired program
❑ learn about the Mini Controller’s special features
❑ learn how to change the Rate, Intensity, and Audio programs to cater to your needs
Overview
This Chapter covers the operation of the Mini Controller and the functions of the
keys. There are four groups of programs installed on the EPROM in the Mini
Controller: Standard Programs, Random Function Programs, Advance Programs,
and Lightning Programs. Each program’s Rate and Intensity may be manipulated
to cater to individual needs. Also, audio synchronization functions are available
to trigger the ignition of the AF1000 strobes. Complete program layout and
explanations are included at the end of this manual in the Addendum. The
Addendum will take precedence over program information contained in this
Chapter.
Note: any changes made to the Intensity, Rate, and Audio parameters are applied
globally to all programs. If you turn the Intensity down to
15
, that Intensity will
effect all programs when they are run.
Operating Process
The operating process of the Mini Controller is based upon Programs. The
Programs consist of steps. A step an instruction sent to the strobes which tells which
strobe(s) to illuminate, the duration of the illumination, and the Intensity of the
illumination. A group of steps forms a sequence. The time it takes for one step to
advance to another step is Rate. Refer to Figure 2.1.
