Pocket Wizard MultiMAX Owner's Manual - page 39
The following chart is a starting point for calculating how the number of flashes or pops
affects F-stops. Since every flash unit is different, use a light meter or other method for
more precise calculations.

Contact time is affected by Multipop mode. If the contact time is set greater than the
Multipop interval, the contact time will automatically be set to interval time MINUS
0.01 seconds. This means that a remote camera or flash will remain triggered with
only a 1/100 second release between contacts. This short released time may not be
long enough to re-trigger some cameras or flash units. If this is the case, set the
contact time lower.
D: SpeedCycler - TRANSMITTER –
/MENU A D
Enables SpeedCycler mode. Use this mode to rapidly cycle
through remote flash units and trigger faster than a single
flash can recycle by using multiple flash units. It can also
be used for triggering remote cameras sequentially.
This mode only works with Quad Triggering channels (17
and higher) and two or more MAX or MultiMAX units (set
for RECEIVE mode).
1. From the main screen press /MENU A D to
enable SpeedCycler mode on a MultiMAX (set for
TRANSMIT mode)
2. Enable two or more remote zones
3. Set each MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) to a
different zone
4. Trigger the MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode). The first trigger will fire the first
zone selected, the second trigger will fire the next zone selected. The display indicates
the next zone to trigger with an arrow. Only the zone just triggered will display proper
confirmation
N
If L is selected then PORT 2 on the MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) will trigger
every time and is not cycled. It will be in sync with each cycled zone.
