If you are running Vixen and you are done with the event how do you make the light turn on and stay on until your next event?

Gary... what do you mean by "event?"

I created a light program with 32 channels and set it to music. (The event) I then put it in the scheduler and it works fine. But, I only want to run (The event) for and hr. and then I just want the lights to be on until they turn off with a timer latter that night. I am not sure how you do that when all the power for the lights run through the boards.

Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

Hey Gary,

Kind of the wrong area to post but in the interest of solving your issue try:

Tools, Preferences, Sequence Execution, then uncheck: Reset controller at end of sequence.

hope that helps.

Hey Greg I believe his question is for something a little different.

Gary let me see if I understand you unless Greg was correct (soz  ;D)

You want to run your "Event" or as we call it sequence for an hour long then after just have everything static (on) until your sequence is ran again. Is this correct?

If so what your looking for is creating a background sequence.

What this does is say you schedule your show to run from 5:00pm to 10:00pm every hour and your program (collection of sequences put together) runs 30 minutes long. Therfore for the last 30 minutes that your program is not playing you want to have all your lights on until the next time your program runs again. To fill the 30 minute gap you would have a background sequence run until the next interval of your program to run in this example every hour (6pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9pm)

Please refer to this section if my understanding is correct
