Readouts - Martin MAC 2000 Wash User Manual

If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adjusted. The first is
selected under
calculate intermediate positions at a steady rate. Begin by selecting the alternative,
if the intermediate positions stray significantly from the line of travel.
The second parameter is the number of position updates used to calculate speed. The level is adjustable
between 1 and 10 under
over which speed is calculated, making movement smoother but less responsive to sudden changes.
Experiment for best results.
Display
The display intensity (
determines whether the display remains on or extinguishes two minutes after the last key-press. To flip the
display, press [Up] and [Down] simultaneously.
Lamp
There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (

from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
If striking lamps from the controller, note that striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large
enough to prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. Avoid this by programming a "lamp
on" sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
Power to the lamp can be turned off from the controller if DMX Lamp Off (

range. Note that this setting has no effect on the optional dimming wheel, that uses a logarithmic dimming
curve.
DMX reset
The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset (
Custom settings
The custom configuration function allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture settings. The savable
settings are DMX mode, pan/tilt speed, pan/tilt inverse and swap, DMX lamp off and reset, display settings,
shortcuts, studio mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking algorithm, and tracking samples.

Note: The MP-2 Uploader provides commands to display the time, temperature, and version readouts on
the fixture control panel.
