Lightning effect
The lightning effect must be very well done since it seems to have very little effect on my fish,with my old fixture,when the lights went off ,they used to jump quite a bit. Now they just keep swimming as if nothing happened, maybe it's in their genes or something.
It is very cool indeed , my wife complains, but hey that is genetics also i guess

Help !!!!!
Help !!!!!
Does any one know how to do a reset on the illumina, i programmed some lightning and clouds and now regardless of the settings , i cant modify clouds or lightning. I tried reinstalling the software , tried the Vlink on different computers , i can still modify everything except the clouds and lightning.

Mine does this too. It's a known bug and will be corrected in the next release I am told.
The folks in Germany are finalizing the manual but it will be a little longer until it is translated and released.
I figured out how to add addition points in expert mode:
In the graph area, right click anywhere to the left or right of the last point and select "add point" from the context menu. I discovered that 20 is the maximum number of points that can be uploaded to the fixture.
Another nugget explaining the moon light features:
Moon OFF: No moon light features
Moon Light: Constant moon light, ambient light range applies
Lunar Cycle: Full lunar cycle, changes daily according to synodic moon cycle
Rising Lunar Cycle: Trapezoid like intensity increase with start time, end time, rise time and falling time, according synodic moon cycle
Triangular lunar cycle: Start time, end time, changes with synodic moon cycle, has variants west first, or east first
EAST ..... WEST

I figured out a workaround to the bug that prevents changing the Special Settings (Lightning, Could cover etc).
1. Download your configuration from the fixture
2. Go to File and select "Save Settings"
3. Save the file to a known location on your PC (I name mine vconfig and save it to my documents folder)
4. Close the Vertex Application
5. Go to the location on your PC where you just saved the file and right click on it and select "Open With" and open the file with Notepad. - Do NOT open the .csv configuration file in Excel!
6. At the bottom of the file you will find the section that contains the Special Features settings. Edit the value at the end of the line i.e common;cloud_amount;2 or, in your case common;flash_prop;1 and common;flash_amount;1 to reduce the probability and frequency of lighting effects.
7. Save the file
8. Open the Vertex application and go to File "load Settings" and select the .csv config file
9. Upload to your Illumina
10. Have a Beer!
Cheers!
