Apex WXM Vortechs

[Frank@Wall]

Can anyone help out please. I read through the regular manuals and the new unofficial guide and its not clear to me. I have an Apex controller, WXM and 2 mp40w's and cannot get the programming right. Trying to set up sync/anti-sync (Masster/Slave) but im confused. Can someone direct me into a right path or if there is a thread that would make sense? Would be much appreciated. :smash:

I followed the instructions in the official guide and then modified it appropriately.

It takes a little while to set it up the first time. Let me know what you've done and I can help if you are having a problem.

First issue is as you are setting up the profiles (types, intensity) once getting to the master pump drop-down do you have to make 2 seperate profiles for lets say reefcrest? because since I have 2 mp40's I named it vortechleft and vortechright do you need 2 profiles? What if someone has 6 pumps, do they need 6 profiles under same (reefcrest). Im sorry if im not explaining right but its kind of hard to explain, not sure if you understand what im trying to say...as a matter affect im not sure if i get this.
