Control panel 13

DMX

The DMX log (dMXL) menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems.

RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may

result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.

qUAL displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much

below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the

most common cause of control problems.

STCO displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular

performance.

The remaining options under

dMXL display the DMX values received on each channel. If the fixture does

not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Manual control

The manual control menu (MAN) provides commands for resetting the fixture (RST), turning the lamp on

(LON), and turning the lamp off (LoFF). It also permits you to position and move individual effects.

Service utilities

Important! Enter must be held for several seconds to access the utilities menu.

Test sequences

TSEQ provides a general test of all effects that can be run without a controller. UTIL/PCBt provides

routines for circuit board testing that are for service use only.

Feedback toggles

An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the gobo and color wheels, rotating gobos, and the

animation wheel. If a position error is detected, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can

be disabled by turning effects feedback (

UTIL>EFFb) off.

The automatic pan/tilt position correction system may be temporarily turned off under

UTIL>FEbA. The

off setting, however, is not saved and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts. If the

system cannot correct the pan/tilt position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.

Calibration

The calibration menu (UTIL>CAL) allows effects to be calibrated. The fixture can be returned to factory

calibrated effects and feedback settings using the command (

UTIL>CAL>dFOF)

Adjustment

The adjustment menu (UTIL>Adj) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments. See

page 36.

Software upload

The upload mode command (UTIL>UPLd) prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is

not necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader.
