The MSpeed parameter allows the motion system to calculate positional data with a finer resolution than what a DMX data stream can provide.
MSpeed movement is extremely smooth because the fixture controls movements in a way that is independent of DMX refresh rates. Extremely slow
movements are better obtained by the use of Mspeed instead of using a console cross-fade values.
In Addition, the Use of Mspeed allows all targeted motors to reach their targeted positions at the same time even though they have they may have a dif-
ferent distance to move.
MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds.
The table below lists the MSpeed (motor) movement times and their corresponding DMX controller values.
If you have a numeric-type DMX controller, use the Value Decimal (dec.) column.
l
If you have a fader-type DMX controller, use the Value Percentage (%) column.
l
If your DMX controller allows you to program hex values, use the Value (hex) column.
