Fixture setup
21
Managing fixture settings
Factory default settings
FACTORY DEFAULT
lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not
affected, so any changes you have made to zoom, pan and tilt offsets will be kept.
Custom settings
The custom configuration function
CUSTOM 1
-
CUSTOM 3
allows you to save and recall up to three sets of
fixture settings. These include all the settings in the
PERSONALITY
menu as well as the fixture’s DMX
address.
Fixture information readouts
The following fixture information can be called up in the display:
•
POWER ON TIME
provides two counters, one user-resettable, one non-resettable, that display the total
number of hours the fixture has been powered on since manufacture.
•
POWER ON CYCLES
provides two counters, one user-resettable, one non-resettable, that display the
total number of power on/off cycles since manufacture.
•
SW VERSION
displays the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version.
•
RDM UID
displays the fixture’s factory-set unique ID for identification in RDM systems.
•
FAN SPEEDS
provides separate status readouts from the fixture’s cooling fans.
Temperatures
The
TEMPERATURES
menu provides separate temperature readouts for each of the fixture’s PCBs. You
can choose to see the current readout or the minimum and maximum temperature levels since the fixture
was last powered on.
DMX signal monitoring
The MAC Ultra Performance provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the
DMX LIVE
menu. This
information can be useful 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.
•
QUALITY
displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of usable packets from the data
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.
•
START CODE
displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular
performance.
The
DMX LIVE
menu lets you scroll through all the fixture’s DMX channels and display the DMX values from
0 - 255 that are being received on each channel.
Test sequences
The
FIXTURE TEST
menu lets you test:
• all the fixture’s effects
• dimming functionality
• each individual mechanical effect, or
• pan and tilt only.
Before you run a test, prepare for the head to move and the fixture to light up suddenly without warning.
