Ball "Place" button
The ball place button can select three different ball positioning modes:
Pr. (Program), Separ. (Separate), and Rnd (Random), indicated by the 3 yellows lights on the control
panel.
24. In Program mode - "Pr." light is on - Ball A is sent to left-right position A, Ball B is sent to
L-R position B, Ball C is sent to L-R position C, and Ball D is sent to L-R position D. [These
four Left-Right positions are determined by the four horizontal levers on the right side of the
control panel]
25. In Separate mode - "Separ." light is on - the 1st ball of a given pattern is sent to the L-R
position A, the 2nd ball to the L-R position B, 3rd to C, and 4th to D, repeating with the 5th
ball to L-R position A, etc.
26. In Random mode - "Rnd." light is on - the Amicus will randomly deliver balls, selecting from
the L-R positions you have chosen.
Ball "Place" mode examples
An example of the 'Program Mode' was used at the beginning of this chapter ... if you remember - Ball A
(two balls) was sent to position A, and Ball B (three balls) was sent to position B. Lets now move on to
examples of the 'Separate Mode' and 'Random Mode'.
Separate Mode example: Using the same setup as before ...ball A (two balls) and ball B (three balls), try
this ... select the 'Separate Mode' by pressing the 'Place button', (the yellow light below "Separ" should
now be on). Then press the remote on/off button to play the pattern. You should notice that the:
27. 1st ball (A) is sent to position A
28. the 2nd ball (A) is sent to position B
29. the 3rd ball (B) is sent to position A
30. the 4th ball (B) is sent to position B
31. and the 5th ball (B) is sent to position A
In the above example, balls are delivered to two separate L-R positions. To select additional positions -
use the up and down arrow keys, as you do this a yellow light will turn on next to the position(s) you have
selected. Balls would then be sent in this order:
32. 1st Ball - Position A
33. 2nd Ball - Position B
34. 3rd Ball - Position C
35. 4th Ball - Position D
36. 5th Ball - Position A
