Dim; Mspeed (Motor Speed); Macro/Lad - High End Systems Studio Spot 250 User Manual

Dim

The Dim construct is available for both Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250 fixtures.
This construct is controlled with DMX channel 15 for Studio Spot 250 fixtures or DMX
channel 12 for Studio Color 250 fixtures. The Dim construct provides full dimming
capability without changing the color temperature or the beam shape. The dim
values range from closed (construct value of 0) to fully open (construct value of 255).

MSpeed (Motor Speed)

The MSpeed construct is available for both Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250
fixtures. This construct is controlled with DMX channel 16 for Studio Spot 250 fixtures
or DMX channel 13 for Studio Color 250 fixtures. MSpeed is the time required for a
motor to complete movement when changing from one position to another. MSpeed
provides a means for all motors to reach their target position at the same time, even
though each motor may have different distances to travel. MSpeed movement is
extremely smooth because the fixture controls its own movements and is not
dependent on DMX refresh rates.
MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. However, if you apply
MSpeed to a construct, be sure that the delay value (length of time allowed for the
entire scene) is longer than the MSpeed value to allow the motors to complete their
movement before the end of the scene. An MSpeed value that is longer than the
delay value could produce undesirable results - such as no light output during the
scene. For a listing of exact MSpeed times, see "MSpeed Times" on page A-13.
You can apply MSpeed times for the following constructs:
• Pan*
• Tilt*
• Color Function
• Litho Function
• Effects
*Note: By default, MSpeed is applied to pan and tilt positioning. However,
you can disable MSpeed for pan and tilt with the control construct (see
"Control" on page 3-14).

Macro/LAD™

The Macro/LAD construct is available for both Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250
fixtures. This construct is controlled with DMX channel 17 for Studio Spot 250 fixtures
or DMX channel 14 for Studio Color 250 fixtures.
