Test Options Menu
The TEST OPTIONS MENU manually homes the fixture, performs fixture self tests, and stores
new boot code information. Performing fixture self tests may help identify mechanical
problems in the fixture.
Copying the Boot Code
When new software is uploaded to a Orbital Head System, it may contain a new boot code
which must be copied to each fixture. This is apparent if the fixture displays a BOOTDIFF error.
To accept and store the new boot code:
1. Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system to the
top level menus.
2. Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll to the
TEST OPTIONS MENU and press the Enter button to select.
3. Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll to the COPY BOOT option
and press the Enter button to select.
4. Use the up and down arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to the YES option and then
press the Enter button to store the command. The fixture will store the new boot code,
then automatically home.
Homing the Fixture
The Orbital Head System automatically homes all its functions whenever it is turned on. This
menu option manually homes the entire fixture.
To remotely home the fixture using a DMX controller, see Roadster Orbital Head Positioning on
page 31 and Control Function on page 33.
To manually home the fixture:
1. Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system to the
top level menus.
2. Use the left and right arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to the
TEST OPTIONS MENU and press the Enter button to select.
3. Use the left and right arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to HOME FIXTURE.
4. Use the up and down arrows on the Navigation button to scroll through the homing
options available from all to selected function homing options. Press the Enter button to
select.
Caution: Do not remove power from the fixture while
performing a boot copy.
