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.
