MSpeed

MSpeed (movement speed) is a separate timing construct provided on all
automated Lightwave Research fixtures. MSpeed is the amount of time
required to complete movement(s) from one position to another. All
fixtures that have the same MSpeed value reach their destination at the
same time, regardless of the distance traveled. By allowing the fixture to
control its own movements, the motion will be extremely smooth, as it is
not dependent on DMX refresh rates.
Typically, MSpeed applies to pan and tilt positioning; however, it can be
selectively applied to color selection, litho selection, and litho rotation.
It is important to understand that MSpeed is not linearly scaled, it is
exponentially scaled. Refer to Figure 2.1.

Notes: the darker region in the above figure indicates DMX values 0-3 which
disable MSpeed and allow the controller to crossfade the fixture. MSpeed
times for Studio Spot and Studio Color are identical.
To determine exact MSpeed times, refer to "Converting DMX Values to
MSpeed Times" on page C-1.
Additionally, MSpeed can be independently disabled on the pan and tilt
systems to allow controller crossfading. Refer to "Disabling MSpeed for
Pan and Tilt" on page 2-11.
