Post subject:  easy way to turn einstein strobe on and off

shooting a wedding soon and i want to set up an einstein strobe on either end of the dance floor. is there an easy way to quickly turn one of the light on and off through the CC instead of having to go through the light menu for the specific strobe? just wondering cuz it would be nice to be able to quickly turn one light off so i can have an all back lit pic or all forward and all that?

The easiest way is to set up a group excluding one flash, then a group excluding the other. This way, a small flick of the left joystick will toggle between them. I would recommend GRP7 and GRP8, since GRP8 is only one click from ALL.

SET UP>GROUPS

Use left joystick left/right to select the group you wish to work with.
Use the left joystick up/down to select the channel you want to add/subtract.
Use the right joystick up to add the selected channel, down to remove selected channel.

Assuming your lights are CH1 and CH2:
Select GRP8, select CH1, Add to the group. Select and remove any other channels that may be on that group.
Select GRP7, select ch2, Add to the group. Select and remove any other channels that may be on that group.

As in any screen, use the white text above the joysticks to promt you as to what each joystick direction does.
