Joystick Control
The following applies when configuring a channel for Roboscans only.
When configuring a channel to control a Roboscan you can choose between standard direct
joystick control and joystick acceleration mode (ideal for micro-stepping Roboscans like Pro
218, Pro 518 etc.). The difference between the two modes is that extremely small and
precise movements can be made in acceleration mode while it is still possible to make
bigger movements by holding the joystick in position. The initial movement is very slow to
enable fine adjustment and then the motor speeds up.
To configure a channel for acceleration mode first select a Roboscan when configuring a
channel. You can toggle acceleration mode by using left/right joystick positions. When in
acceleration mode there is a dot shown on the display eg. 10.04 or 10.16.
Basic operation
This section explains how to switch on the Martin 2308 controller, how to use the keys, and
how to select
operation mode
. It also helps you to understand the way the controller
operates.
Switching on
1 First, switch on the Martin 2308 controller by pressing the [on] key, located in the bottom
left hand corner of the front panel.
Because an error-free memory is necessary for the correct functioning of the Martin 2308
controller, various factory-set tests are performed before you will be able to work with it.
Initially {robo} is flashing in the display. Then the version number of the
software
is
displayed as {rX.XX} where X.XX is the version number. The version number will be
displayed until the memory tests are completed. These tests will last about five seconds.
As soon as the display stops flashing and the version number is displayed you may
perform an
initialization
or a
factory setting
as explained in the Special functions section
of this manual.
If for some reason the memory tests fail, an error message will be displayed. Please
consult the error messages section of this manual for possible ways to continue
operation. If the remaining tests are satisfactory the controller will transmit a
reset
signal
to all Units connected to the link.
If you need to (re)configure the controller for a specific purpose please refer to the section
Factory setting in the Special functions section of this manual.
2 Then, switch on the Units and wait for approximately 1 minute until they have finished
their reset. It is important that you switch on the controller first to ensure that units with
protocol auto-detect function (Martin units that accept both Martin RS-485 and DMX 512
data) select the correct protocol.
