In this video we will go over very basic levels of programming the Pathfinder to give it some very basic flashes.

What is the difference between On and Micropulse Steady Burn? Also how do you get it to flash dual colors with "off" time between the flashing, and to keep in sync with say an FSJoin Bar. Like on the light bars, if you have R/W and B/W up front it will alternate Red on driver, then blue on passenger, then white on driver, then white on passenger, then red driver, then blue on passenger. The plan is to have this, R/W lighting on all driver side, a push bumper crossbar with R/W on riverside of it, and B/W on passenger side. In the rear I want to have B/A Micropulses on Spoiler brackets on both driver and passenger and the same on license plates. So for the front, with regular flashing I would like to have the red and blue alternating - 75 Single Flash. I know red on Phase 0 and Blue on Phase 180. Same with the bar. The issue is now when white flashing is active, the bar will alternate between red and white and blue and white with keeping the phasing the same. However to accomplish the white flashing with say the crossbar, I would have to add Red and passenger white on phase 0, and driver white and blue on 180. This will create a constant on state, and fall out of sync with the bar. From what I can tell, you can't just do the bar (Valor FSJoin) the same way. I can't do similar phasing where I can put red on 0 phase with the passenger side white in the bar also on 0, and then do driver white with the blue on 180? I am trying to preprogram everything before getting stuff so see if I can set it to work for my application, and I am only use the "preview" in the setting, and like you said its funky and not timed just right. I know "add white" is supposed to fill the off time with white, so I am assuming that it means that the light will be on the same phasing as the "on" side of the bar. If I program one half of the bar as Red on Single 75 phase 0, Blue half on 180, then essentially that means it will make the white on the blue half phase 0 and the red half 180? In the back I want to keep it in time with the bar flashing so Amber on driver side will alternate with the blue on passenger side. and then will flash blue on driver side and then amber on passenger side. I want to keep the flashing sync the same, not speed it up, So I don't want one to be 0, then 45, then 90, then 180 So instead of it being like: A B B A A B B A I would like to to flash like A A B B A A B B I have been told this can be done with virtual inputs, but I am not completely understanding them. Reason I would like the rear different is because I am going to have these set for Single 60, along with the Amber in the rear of the bar, and the SM will flash like a Warn 1, Warn 2, Warn 3 pastern with Single 60. So I would like to time the Driver side amber flashing with the driver side SM module in the bar, and then when it goes to phase 180 on passenger side, the rear Amber on the hatch and spoiler will flash amber. And then follow the Blue on each side in the SM and the Hatch and SM. I have watched almost all your videos on the Pathfinder, and THANK YOU! Learned a lot, but I haven't noticed this touched on yet. I'll keep looking. Thanks for any help!

Is the software already installed in the control module, or is it something I need to have installed on my computer in order to program my stuff? Will it run automatically on my computer when I plug it in?

I already have programming installed on my pathfinder system. Is there a way to save the original configuration before I start to change flash patterns and such. Basically, I wanted a default original program to bring it back to stock that I could install later if patrol car is traded in.

Hi, I'm a little confused with your question since it seems like you're requesting two different things. If you wish to save a copy of your current configuration you would just go to "Device" -> "Read Device Configuration" then you would go to "File" -> "Save As", which will preserve your current programing. If you wish to start over as if you were unboxing the Pathfinder for the first time you have two options. You can go to "System" -> "Default Configuration" which will reset the pathfinder to a basic default configuration. You could also go to "System" -> "Blank Configuration" Let me know if you require additional help.

Can you flash non FS products with pathfinder if the light is set to steadyburn? So an ion or mpower set to steady for example.

If you tie it to a trigger or sliding switch it'll flash, the "flash patterns" built into the pathfinder are for the FS products that are steadyburn and require an external flasher. So yes you can use other brands lights. They should in theory work if you use a steadyburn mwpower or ion.

What cable did you use for programming? (For example: My smart siren used an Ethernet cable) also, can you please link the software/website information to download?
