Menu Operation

What Is the Menu System?

The menu system is a programmable set of commands used to configure,
address, operate, and test the luminaire. The menu system is controlled at
the Menu Display available at the yoke leg.
The menu system has seven main functions which are referred to as "1st
level." Within these main functions, there can be up to four additional sub-
functions (levels 2 thru 5), making five total levels.

Menu Controls Operation

The menu system is controlled by four buttons. These buttons function as
follows:
[Menu] button Displays the menu, or if at first level, the
current address. Can also enable menu to exit a menu
level.
[Enter] button Selects the current menu option or stores
current data value.
[Up] arrow Scrolls menu options upward or increases
current data value.
[Down] arrow Scrolls menu options downward or
decreases current data value.
To enter the menu system, first press [Menu]. The
functions displayed will be 1st level functions. Scroll
through the 1st level functions by pressing [Up] / [Down]
arrows. Once the desired function appears in the display,
press [Enter]. You are now at the 2nd level. Once again, press the [Up] / [Down] arrows to scroll
through 2nd level functions. Press [Enter] to access 3rd level functions and so forth. When the highest
level for the function is reached, [Up] / [Down] arrows can be pressed to select a value or select a
toggle activation such as ON/OFF. Press [Enter] to store the value or select an action.
For example, the Address function has one sub-level: DMX. This 2nd level menu allow access to a
3rd level, which is a value. The Address function is a 3-level menu.
