Test Menu (Test) - High End Systems Studio Spot 250 User Manual

To crossload software from one fixture to all other Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color
250 fixtures on the link:
1. Disconnect or bypass any controllers, serial data distributors, data line
optoisolators, and any fixtures using RS-422 communications (such as
Dataflash
laser simulators). These devices will block communication between your
crossloading fixture and any other Studio Spot 250 or Studio Color 250
fixtures on the link.
2. On the crossloading fixture only, press and hold the <Menu> button until
"ADDR" appears on the LED display.
3. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the "MODE" menu
and press the <Enter> button to select the "MODE" menu.
4. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the "XLD" option
and press the <Enter> button to select the "XLD" option. The fixture will
upload its software to all other Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250
fixtures on the link.
The Transmit LED on the crossloading fixture will remain on (or flicker) and the
Transmit and Receive LEDs on receiving fixtures will flicker while the crossload is in
progress. The LED display on the Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250 fixtures will
display "UPLD" as they are receiving the software upload. When the crossload has
finished successfully, "DONE" will appear briefly in the LED display of the
crossloading fixture, and all other fixtures will home.
Note: If a new boot code was included with the latest software, the LED will
display a "BOOT DIFF" error. To correct the boot code, you must
copy the new boot code for each fixture (see "Copying the Boot Code
(BOOT)" on page 4-31).

Test Menu (TEST)

The Test menu allows you to manually home the fixture, turn the lamp on or off,
perform fixture self tests, and store new boot code information. If you are
experiencing problems that you suspect are mechanical, performing fixture self tests
will help to determine where the problem lies. The procedures below are listed in the
order they appear on the menu map (see Table 4-1 or Table 4-2).
Note: To see the effects of the self tests, the lamp must be on. If the lamp is
off when you run the self test, the LED will display "STRK" to indicate
that the lamp is not struck, and the fixture will attempt to strike the
lamp automatically.
