Flash

## Example

Let´s assume you will temporary set the dimmer attribute of executor 3 to 100 % as long as you press and hold the executor.

There are two ways to do this:

a) If you did not change the default [functions of the executor buttons](/dot2/key_window_changefunctionsofexecutor/), you can just press ![Flash](/img/dot2/flash_1-0a29ca.png) of executor 3.

b) Press Flash and press and hold the respective executor button ![go](/img/dot2/go_1-db7d7b.png) .

As long as you hold the executor button, the flash command will be executed.

As soon as you leave the executor button, the executor is back in its previous status.
