Meaning of Fade-Time and Wait-Time
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2022 11:30 am
Hi there,
I have a question to the meaning of "Fading-Time" and "Waiting-Time" at the scene editor.
For me "Fading-Time" is the time given to the step to execute. So e.g. dimmer from 0% to 100%
And "Waiting-Time" is the time the step will wait, after doing this, until it goes to the next step.
Hope that my understanding is correct?
And now comes my problem.
At the first step I have a "fading-Time" of 1 second and dimmer set to 0.
At the second step I have a "Fading-Time" of 10 seconds and set the dimmer to 100%.
Now I would expect the dimmer to change the value from 0 to 100 within this time. But this is unfortunately not the case. The dimmer has reached the value of 100 after 2 or 3 seconds and then nothing happens for 8 seconds. This behavior is the same to all fixtures I have. Also it appears at the Mac OS X Version and the Windows Version. I tried this with the last official version from November 2021 and the latest beta version from March 2022.
So what must I do to get the expected result?
Must I combine "Fading-Time" and "Waiting-Time" or is this a known issue?
