Test and service utilities
DMX READOUT
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 of the channels, from SHUT
(shutter, channel 1) to EFSP (effect speed, channel 10). 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 turning the lamp on (LON), turning the lamp off
(
LoFF), and resetting the fixture (RST). It also permits you to position and move individual effects.
EFFECTS TEST
The test sequence (TSEQ>RUN) runs through all effects to provide a quick check of fixture performance.
Note: the test sequence does not automatically strike the lamp. Use
MAN>LON and MAN>LoFF to
control lamp power. Press [menu] to stop the test.
ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS
The adjustment menu (UTIL>AdJ) provides commands for positioning effects during mechanical
adjustment.
EFFECT CALIBRATION
With the calibration menu (UTIL>CAL), effect positions can be fine-tuned with a software-defined offset
value to compensate for small misalignments or differences between fixtures.
The default offset command (
UTIL>dFOF) erases any offsets stored in memory.
CIRCUIT BOARD TEST
UTIL>PCBT
executes a routine designed for testing the main circuit board. For service use only.
