Snapshots in SmartFade

The Snapshot function is designed to make it easy to capture the current output, and store it as a memory at a later point.
  • Snapshot can be pressed at any time inside any menu or function.

Snapshot captures a complete state of all output channels and stores them into a buffer. This buffer has 10 snapshot positions. If pressed 11 times, Snapshot will overwrite the 1st Snapshot in the buffer.

The Snapshot button

The button is off when there are no Snapshots recorded. As soon as there is a Snapshot recorded it will light at full in red.
