Maybe it's straightforward, but not to me apparently. Is there an easy way to say, switch your Mitras LX7's to actinic channel(s) only for a quick view whenever you want?

Or, same for flipping on just the red channel to try to catch a fish easily? I'm just not finding an easy way to accomplish this.

You could establish this via a Maintenance program.

If you have P3/4 & touch interface, go to Manual Operation -> Illumination Channel
If your LX7 is Standalone, enable Maintenance Program via MyGHL or Local/Direct WiFi Connection via GHL Connect.

I have the P4, and my LX7's are controlled by the PWC card installed in the P4, so P4 serves as the master for all 4 units.

ETA: I also have the touch interface.

Is it still possible to set up a maintenance program, if the P4 is acting as the master light, with the use of the PWC?

Oh, I got it, now that I could look at the touch interface. I used to use the manual operation all the time with my MH. Once I switched to the Mitras I just forgot about it I guess. It's a little tedious to turn all the channels off manually, but it does the job.

Yes, PWC card in P3/4 controlling Mitras.
Go into the Mitras, and setup the maintenance profile as you wish.
Then on P3/4 enable the maintenance program through whichever interface of choice ... Touch, MyGHL,ghl connect... And the Mitras will enable it's maintenance program

@Marco@GHLUSA I was able to setup the maintenance program I wanted in GCC and initiate it using the Touch interface. However, it only is applying it to the first light in the series. I've got 4x LX7's (all in slave mode) being controlled by the P4 (master) using the PWC. I'm not quite sure why it's only controlling the first light in the series and not all of them.

I'm open to any and all suggestions. :)

@KJoFan - you may want to open a ticket with support on that one because maintenance should impact all 4 lights and it the master only.

I do not have a pwc card in my P4 or I would test this also with you :(

I might have to do that. Sometimes I wonder if the PWC card is more trouble than just running the lights independently.
