2.
Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either Static,
Automatic, or Sound) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in
standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals
from the controller.
To enable the Sound-Active mode, do the following:

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Scorpion™ Scan 3D EU unit (the "master") to control the
Master/Slave Mode
actions of one or more Scorpion™ Scan 3D EU units (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active mode, while the
slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate
in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.

Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode.
Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master
unit.
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
Connect a 25-pin cable to the ILDA INPUT port of the rear panel of the laser.
Connect the other end of the 25-pin cable to the DAC (digital analog converter) that is connected to the
controlling PC. NOTE: If using a non-Windows personal computer, translation software may also be
needed to run any ILDA-control software packages.
