16 DMX512 REFERENCE GUIDE
Mini-Stepping
Mini-stepping has been added for the VL6 gobo and color wheels when an extended mode (Mode 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10) is
used. Mini-stepping, which smooths wheel transitions, will be active for Wheel 1 (gobo) when the beam time channel
has a value between 1 and 254. It will be active for Wheel 2 (color) when the color time channel has a value between 1
and 254. When the value is set at either 0 or 255, mini-stepping will be inactive.
Luminaire Reset
The ability to reset (recalibrate) a luminaire is available for DMX512 consoles. The reset channel will cause the
associated luminaire to recalibrate when set to 33% (84 in DMX512) for three seconds and then returned to zero. (This
must be done with a numeric keypad, not with an encoder or potentiometer.)
When used with a DMX Power Pack (DPP) or Series 200 luminaires, this channel also allows for remote start and
douse of an arc source. When the channel is set to 66% (168 in DMX512) for three seconds and then returned to zero,
the lamp will douse. When set to 99% (252 in DMX512) for three seconds and then returned to zero, the lamp will
strike. (This should be done with a numeric keypad not with an encoder or potentiometer.)
Note: Intermediate values occurring between the command value and zero will cancel the command.
