Factory Defaults; Fixture Information Readouts; Dmx Signal Monitoring - Martin MAC Viper Wash User Manual

- DISPLAY SLEEP determines whether the display remains on permanently, or goes into sleep mode 2,
5 or 10 minutes after the last movement of the jog wheel or Escape button.
- DISPLAY INTENSITY lets you define the brightness of the display backlighting. Select Auto for
automatic adjustment to match the ambient light level, or manually set the intensity to a level from 0% to
100%.
- DISPLAY ROTATION lets you rotate the display manually through 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° so that it can be
read easily no matter how the fixture is oriented. If set to Auto, the MAC Viper Wash senses its
orientation and rotates the display automatically.
- DISPLAY CONTRAST lets you define the contrast of the backlit graphic display. Select Auto for
automatic adjustment to match display intensity, or manually set the contrast to a level from 0% to
100%.
• ERROR MODE enables or disables error warnings. If set to NORMAL, the display is activated and lights
up if the fixture needs to report an error. If set to SILENT, the fixture does not light the display with error
warnings but error messages can still be read when the display is activated manually. In both NORMAL
and SILENT modes, the status LED lights amber to indicate a warning and red to indicate an error.

Factory defaults

FACTORY DEFAULT lets you reload the fixture's factory default settings. Effect calibration is not affected, so
any effects that have been re-calibrated will not be returned to factory calibration settings.

Fixture information readouts

The following fixture information can be called up in the display:
• POWER ON TIME provides two counters:
- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays total hours powered on since manufacture.
- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of hours the fixture has been
powered on since the counter was last reset.
• LAMP ON TIME provides two counters:
- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays total hours the lamp has been powered on since
manufacture.
- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of hours the lamp has been
powered on since the counter was last reset. This counter is intended to allow you to monitor lamp life.
• LAMP STRIKES provides two counters:
- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays the total number of lamp strikes since
manufacture.
- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of lamp strikes since the
counter was last reset.
• SW VERSION displays the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version.
• SERIAL NUMBER displays the fixture's manufacturer serial number.
• RDM UID displays the fixture's factory-set unique ID for identification in RDM systems.
• FAN SPEEDS provides separate status readouts from the fixture's cooling fans.
• TEMPERATURES provides separate PCB temperature readouts.

DMX signal monitoring

The MAC Viper Wash provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This
information can be useful for troubleshooting control problems.
RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may
result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.
QUALITY displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much
below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the
most common cause of control problems.
START CODE displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular
performance.
