=== How the Scene was created ===

Activate the first fixture and set its colour. 

Click 'New Scene' in Program Control 

Select 'All Flagged' and input a name for the scene 

Click 'Save + No Clear' 

This procedure will set the colour of the first fixture, set its colour parameter flag and create a new scene. After the scene is created the parameter flag is still set meaning that subsequent 'Save' operations will store this parameter also.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Activate the next fixture and set the colour. 
* Click 'New Step'. 
* Click 'Save + No Clear' 

This will add a second step to the scene which will contain the first and second fixture set to the required colour.

Continue this process until all the fixtures are set to the desired colour. In this case there will be 40 steps at this point.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Deactivate all fixtures 
* Activate fixture 1 and set it to the second colour. 
* Click 'New Step' 
* Click 'Save + No Clear' 

Do this for the next 40 steps until all the fixtures are set to the second colour.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Deactivate all fixtures 
* Activate fixture 40 and set it to the first colour again 
* Click 'New Step' 
* Click 'Save + No Clear' 

Repeat going backwards through the fixtures this time until all are blue again.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Deactivate all fixture 
* 'Clear all flags' 
* Set the step combo box to the last step of the scene (i.e. 120) and click on 'Step'. This will set the parameters from the scene step. 
* Click 'New Step' 
* Uncheck the last fixture from the tree. 
* Click 'Save + Clear' 

This will save a new step without the last fixture. When the sequence runs it will appear black.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Click 'Step' in the Scene programming section. 
* Click 'New Step' 
* Uncheck the last fixture from the tree. 
* Click 'Save + Clear' 

Continue this until the last step which will be blank.
