I own a DMX operator (not the "pro") which has 12 fixture buttons and 8 regular faders and two additional faders for speed and fade time and eight scene buttons I have four cans and a ADJ T16F chase control. Last year I called an ingenious tech at ADJ and he gave me instructions on how to use the T16F in slave mode with the DMX as a dimmer control. I am ashamed to say I did not write down the instructions but I did use the DMX operator to effectively individually dim or brighten my four cans at will for 3 different video shoots. After letting a year go by I can not remember how to do it. I remember entering program mode for fixture 1 and I also recall assigning fader 2 to a very specific number for example 252 or 202 not sure exactly. I also remember hitting the blackout button afterwards. After this programing:.... faders 3,4,5,and 6 controlled the dimming of cans 1,2,3 and 4 perfectly. If anyone knows the specific of how to do this I would appreciate any help.

alright your controler is similer to mine.... im not sure what your wanting to do. but here are the steps of how to set a scene. press and hold the program button untill the program light lights up- select a fixture - set your sliders - push the midi/add button- and then chose a sceen button to save everything. after you press it all the led's should flash on your controler....

this should hopefully help you out..

I have the DMX Operator(not the Pro) and am very familiar with it, but don't ask me to program it from memory, I forget that part.

I don't see any T16F chase pack, but I bet you simply throw it into DMX mode via the simple buttons and then you're ready to go. If you set the light to be on "1", then faders 1-4 on scanner 1 is all you need.
