Title: Models question
Post by: zeighty on July 22, 2017, 04:11:19 PM

I am new to xL and have only used LOR AC controllers.  Thank you in advance for your help.

Model questions:
#1
Controller 1 Channels 1,2,3,4 are used for light strands on my roof (gutter)line. Left, center, right and Garage.
I have the models setup separately.  Is this the best way? 

#2
I have two arches with 8 segments each (100 lights in a segment). These are standard AC incandescent strands. I do not know how to set the model up. Do I use the arch effect?

Again Thanks to all who respond, I know your time is valuable and I appreciate it.

#1:  There are other ways but the way you did it works fine and its simple.

#2:  Yes use the Arch model.  Nodes Per Arch = 8, Lights Per Node = 100, then change string type to Single color and you will have an arch that has 8 channels with 100 light bulbs per channel.

Thank you so much! I am not sure you know just how much your help means to those of us that are just getting started with xL.  Thank you again.
