3.0 - “Control” microcomputer Giotto Spot 1200 is equipped with a microcomputer which allows to customize the fixture to suite the type of installation. In fact, it's possible to assign the start address; obtain information regarding lamp life and fixture operation time; run test programs to check correct fixture operation and customize some parameters. - Page 15 Description Menu Options (Default configurations are shown in bold text) Addr=xxx Range 001-487 Addressing the fixture Pmove NORM Normal control of Pan from left to right Control of Pan inverted - from right to left. Sets Pan starting angle. PP_min Range 000-540 Default Configuration = 000 degrees Range 000-540 Sets Pan ending angle.
- Page 16 3.2 - Allocating the first addressed channel In order to receive the commands necessary to operate from a lighting console, each fixture has to be allocated a start address. This address normally indicates the first channel used (start channel) and can be allocated following a different criterion from that used to connect the signal line.

3.5 - Pan/Tilt inversion This function also allows to optimize the movement of the Giotto's moving head in relation to the operator's position, in order to simplify all positioning procedure. When SWAP is enabled (ON), this means that the lighting console sends the data regarding Pan to the Tilt con- trols and vice versa. -
Page 19: Fixture Operating Time Meter
3.8 - Fixture operating time meter This function allows to see for how many hours the fixture has been operating. This meter cannot be reset. To see for how many hours the fixture has been used, proceed as follows: Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX signal” appears on the display. -

7.0- GOBO CHANNEL - CH 7 Gobo selection is controlled by Channel 7. The gobo group comprises two independent wheels, each with four images and a blank position. The gobos are interchangeable and superimposing the two wheels enables 25 different combinations to be obtained. Changeover from one gobo to another can be done rapidly and directly, or blacked out: this function is controlled by chan- nel 8 (shutter/strobe) using the strobe/shutter's “Autoshade on Gobo”... - Page 25 8.0-CHANNEL SHUTTER/ STROBE CH - 8 The Shutter/Strobe is controlled by Channel 8. The mechanism which enables the strobe effect to be generated is the same as that used for dimming the light beam, however it's also possible to control the light's intensity while the strobe's enabled.
- Page 26 10- GOBO ROTATION - CH 10 This channel is used to control the speed or positioning of the rotary gobos. Rotation can be in either direction at a speed which can be regulated from a minimum of 1.5rpm to a maximum of 40rpm, whereas a gobo's position can be set in a range of 360°.
