except 99. The default or selected value is transmitted; the duration of the
transmission is determined by the time value.
It is illegal to assign 99 to both DMX and time.
Example 1: DMX set at 99. Most Clay Paky devices use this definition to reset the lights.
Contr DMX Time Value
Ignite 99 6 0
Example 2: DMX is set according to manufacturer's specifications and the time is set to
99. In this case the default value or a selected value is sent indefinitely until a new ignition
command is transmitted.

Ignite 12 99 0
Example 3: DMX is set according to manufacturer's specifications and time is set from 1
up to and including 14. Setting the time to more than 14 results in an illegal number

determined by the time value. This definition is used for the NATs and Summa. When
sending the ignition, enter 0 for lamp off, 1 for lamp on, 2 for reset.
