If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adXusted. The first is
selected under
calculate intermediate positions at a steady rate. Begin by selecting the alternative,
if the intermediate positions stray significantly from the line of travel.
The second parameter is the number of position updates used to calculate speed. The level is adXustable
between - and -0 under
over which speed is calculated, making movement smoother but less responsive to sudden changes.
Experiment for best results.
Display
The display intensity Z
determines whether the display remains on or extinguishes two minutes after the last key-press. To flip the
display, press jUpk and jDownk simultaneously.

from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
If striking lamps from the controller, note that striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large
enough to prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. Avoid this by programming a nlamp
ono se_uence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.

applies a linear algorithm to intensity adXustment, that results in even adXustment across the whole dimming
range. Note that this setting has no effect on the optional dimming wheel, that uses a logarithmic dimming
curve.

The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMT reset Z
Custom settings
The custom configuration function allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture settings. The savable
settings are DMT mode, pan7tilt speed, pan7tilt inverse and swap, DMT lamp off and reset, display settings,
shortcuts, studio mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking algorithm, and tracking samples.
