Progressive Mode
Incrementally show sequence. I.e. if sequence is A B C D, first show A, player presses A, then A B, player presses A B, then A B C, player presses A B C, finally A B C D, player presses A B C D and puzzle is solved.
Buttons
A list of all the "Buttons" set up for the game.
Button X
Can be set to any of the BAC inputs or external inputs (such as FX60 or FX18), or set to none to be ignored.

Sequential Mode
Used when multiple sequences are learned. Inputting one sequence correctly will move on to the next one.
Progressive Speedup %
In progressive mode, multiplier used to increase speed of pattern display. Cumulative.
Show Duration
Duration in milliseconds to show each part of the sequence. I.e. light will turn on for this amount of time.
Frame Interval
Time in milliseconds in between show durations.
Sequence Interval
If pattern is displayed over and over (show once is not checked), time in milliseconds in between pattern display.
Show Once
Whether to show pattern once or repeatedly.
Ready Wait
