Transferring Software From Luminaire to
Luminaire
It is possible to transfer specific software versions between luminaires. As in the case
of installing new software versions, multiple luminaires can be programmed at the
same time if they are data linked together (refer to
page
24), however a maximum of 32 luminaires can be updated at once.
The transfer process can be used to download an earlier or later version of the VL1000
Luminaire Software to other connected VL1000 luminaires. (The software is the same
for all VL1000 models.)
Hardware Requirements
Data cables used in this process must have two twisted pairs and a shield. It is also
recommended that cables meet all other USITT DMX specification requirements.
