100% green for color one.
80% green for color two.

total time 0.1 or 0.2 seconds.

Should be something between 0.02 and 0.06 seconds on each color and transition.

Flash on Clash should probably be 100% white or 100% Amber depending on which version of the Emerald you go (four channel).

If you go a two channel Emerald, whatever the second color is, or a mix if it a Green.  Also for a very brief amount of time.

I only have two sabers.  Both are Emeralds with four channels.  One in RGBW and the other in RGBA.  I don't know the setups for two channel sabers, though I would get they come as the colors are listed on purchase.

For mine it is:
Channel One: Red
Channel Two: Green
Channel Three: Blue
Channel Four: White or Amber.

For a basic saber that is green that can have a silver or amber flash on clash and the film like pulse settings on an Emerald, a Two Channel in either A + G or G + S would be desired.  However if one wants to change colors to something other than Green (white just makes it pastel)  or something with a mix of Green and Amber (yellow to toxic green), you will need a Four Channel Emerald.

Based on your experience with the emerald do you think even with a 4 channel emerald that if I tinker with it lots that I can eventually make mine look like in the Star Wars movies?

You can get the flicker to be very close.  you will not get them to look like they do on film in person, but it could look like they do on film if you film it.

Hey Musiclover221,

Each Emerald pulse setting seems to set slightly different - likely at the discretion of the tech.

It's best to play around with your own, once you get it, but I personally like a fast setting of around one second total.

This is what an Archon v3.1 looks like with CG with the pulse setting I described (at least on camera).  The FoC is set for DVA for something like 6 seconds because I was going to use it to display a color for someone in person.

This is with a heavy grade blade
