How to delay sequence steps?

Hi all,

I hope someone can tell me how to do this easily.

I want to create a sequence for my moving heads that will turn on the dimmer, move the light to a new position and then turn the dimmer off.

Can anyone tell me a way of doing this that will allow the last function of turning the dimmer off wait until the moving step has finished?

Thanks

Geoff

This is not easy because you never know how much time a mover is needing to fulfill it's move. you don't get a signal back in what position it is at present.
So 30 degrees move vs 270 degrees is fast vs slow. You will have to experiment with the hold time in the move step.

(We are lacking math power to make some kind of calculations - possible a feature for V5 (with the java engine))
