<nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name = name-of-data-module | switchsecs = number-of-seconds }}</nowiki>Examples:
<nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main }}</nowiki> for 24 hours between switches using default list<nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | switchsecs = 10}}</nowiki> for 10 sec between switches using default list<nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name= | switchsecs = 1}}</nowiki> 1 sec between switches using default list<nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name=Komodobish | switchsecs = 5}}</nowiki> 5 sec using Komodobish's list<nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name=54129 | switchsecs = 43200}}</nowiki> 12 hours using Serial Number 54129's listThe image lists are at, e.g. for <nowiki>name=Komodobish</nowiki>.
