The effect desired was a physically moving beam of light, which then stays targeted on a single object centre stage. This then proved slightly harder than initially thought as when you press go on the auto cue, there is a period if time it takes to ramp up to the desired velocity and equally as is decelerates to come to a stop. The lighting programmer can plot a graph to which their cue runs to however we needed to know how long the acceleration and deceleration actually takes. We achieved this by plotting an AVD graph as seen below in Vectorworks, then using the tape measure tool to measure the length which equates to seconds. | The effect desired was a physically moving beam of light, which then stays targeted on a single object centre stage.

I knew from the EpiQ desk that the accel was set to 1500mm/s^2. The velocity was 600mm/s. And the decel was set to 800mm/s^2. Total Cue time = 9.599s | I knew from the EpiQ desk that the accel was set to 1500mm/s^2. The velocity was 600mm/s. And the decel was set to 800mm/s^2. Total Cue time = 9.599s | ||
