Color Function
The Color Function construct is available for both Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color
250 fixtures and is controlled with DMX channel 5. This construct determines how the
Studio Spot 250 color wheel or the Studio Color 250 cyan, magenta, and yellow color
wheels move. The Color Function construct values can be enabled in either full
speed (controller crossfading the wheel positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the
wheel motor). For more information on MSpeed, see
“MSpeed (Motor Speed)” on
page 3-13.
The color function settings are listed in Table 3-2.
