Fixture status
You can view the following fixture status information in the FIXTURE STATUS menu:
●
Current temperature of LED engine.
●
Total number of hours the fixture has been in use.
●
Total number of hours the LEDs have been powered on.
●
Software version currently installed in the fixture.
You can also call up fixture status information from an RDM-compatible controller.
Fixture configuration (including master/slave operation)
The FIXTURE CONFIG menu contains additional settings for customizing behavior.
Master/slave operation – important guidelines
Fixtures operating in standalone mode can be synchronized in master/slave operation if they are
all connected to each other on a DMX data link as described under 'Control data link' on page 16.
In master/slave operation, one fixture running a standalone show – the 'master' fixture –sends
'fade' and 'wait' signals to the other fixtures running standalone shows – the 'slave' fixtures – so
that scene change times in slave fixtures are synchronized with the scene change times in the
master. Every time the master changes to its next pre-programmed scene, the slave fixtures
change to their next pre-programmed scene at the same time.
Note the following:
●
Although scene changes in master and slave fixtures all occur at the same time, scenes do
not have to be identical. You can program different effects in the standalone scenes of different
fixtures.
●
Each fixture displays its own pre-programmed standalone show until it reaches its last scene,
then it starts the show sequence again and continues in a loop. If all fixtures have the same
number of scenes in their shows, they will all start shows in synch. If the standalone shows in
different fixtures have different numbers of scenes, the fixtures will restart their shows at
different times relative to each other.
●
If no controller is connected to the first fixture on the link, you can improve the quality of the
data signal sent to slave fixtures by inserting a DMX termination plug (a plug with a 120 Ohm
resistor across data hot and data cold) in the data IN connector of the first fixture.
●
DMX and RDM signals will override standalone operation in both the master and the slave
fixtures. This means that standalone operation is only possible if no DMX signal is present.
●
If you want master/slave operation, set only the first fixture on the link to MASTER. Set all the
other fixtures to SLAVE. If you set more than one fixture to act as master, fixtures may behave
unexpectedly.
●
If you want fixtures to keep obeying the last DMX command they received if a DMX signal is
lost, set all fixtures to be MASTER. If a fixture is set to SLAVE, it will always black out if it is
not receiving a DMX signal or a signal from a MASTER fixture.
