Description / Operation
Controls spread of prism image from small (DMX 0) to wide (DMX 255).
0 Note : there are some diverge positions that will not be available due to
various lensing positions.
Controls frost mechanism. Linear control from No Frost (DMX 0) to Full
0
Frost (DMX 255).
0 Controls strobe rate from slowest (DMX 0) to fastest (DMX 255)
Control Channel for strobing functions.
0 - 5 = Open
6 - 10 = Closed
0
11 - 15 = Normal Strobe
16 - 20 = Random Strobe
21 - 25 = Random Sync
26 - 255 = Reserved Values
Allows for luminaire timing of pan and tilt mechanisms. Profile should
255
default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
Adjustment of fixture timing to control lensing mechanisms. Profile
255
should default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
Allows for luminaire timing to control color mechanisms. Profile should
255
default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
Allows for luminaire timing to control beam shaping mechanisms. Profile
255
should default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
Allows for luminaire timing to control gobo mechanisms. Profile should
255
default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
To execute a command, the control channel must be set to idle (DMX 0)
then changed to a particular value and held for 3 seconds then restored
to DMX 0. Upon completion of this routine, the desired command will be
executed by the luminaire.
Used to strike/douse the lamp, set lamp levels, and other various func-
tions, as well as resetting the luminaire via the console. DMX values are:
0 - 5 = Idle (Default)
6 - 10 = Full Luminaire ReCal (1)
(1) This command is also used to Wake fixture up from shutdown
11 - 15 = Lamp ON
16 - 20 = Lamp OFF
21 - 25 = Fixture Shutdown (for more information, see
down" on page 44)
26 - 30 = Display - Menu ON
31 - 35 = Display - Menu OFF
36 - 40 = ReCal Position
0 41 - 45 = ReCal Color
46 - 50 = ReCal Gobo
51 - 55 = ReCal Beam
56 - 60 = ReCal Optics
61 - 65 = ReCal Dimmer/Strobe
66 - 70 = Reset Fixture to Defaults
71 - 75 = Full Luminaire Reboot (2)
(2) This command will douse lamp and reset all processors in fixture,
then ReCal all parameters.
76 - 80 = Fixture Status On/Off (3)
(3) This command will enable the display to
show fixture status for 5 min. After this time, displays will return
to default configuration. Repeating this command in less than 5
minutes will behave as a toggle.
81 - 85 = Standard Mode - Fixture operates at maximum output (Default)
86 - 90 = Studio Mode - Reduced output with lower fan settings
91 - 255 = Reserved Values
