Fixture Configuration; Configuring With Mum - Martin Tripix 300 User Manual

Fixture configuration

To set up Tripix fixtures for DMX control or stand-alone operation, you
will need:
•
A Windows PC running the Martin MUM™ (Multi Utility Manager)
application, version 1.6.2 or later.
•
A Martin DABS1™ USB/DMX (PC to fixture) hardware interface,
version 1.4 or later.
•
The Tripix Power Inserter cable
•
A DMX input adapter cable (P/N 91611337), available from Martin.

Configuring with MUM

The Martin MUM™ (Multi-Utility Manager) PC application allows you to
set DMX addresses, DMX mode and pixel mode. It also allows you to
enable and adjust stand-alone operation. See also the MUM user
manual.
MUM is supplied in a package together with the Martin DABS1
interface (P/N: 91611144). The latest version of MUM is also available
for download free of charge from the Martin website at www.martin.com.
Important! We recommend that you set DMX addresses and
configure fixtures before physical installation. If you try to use the
auto-addressing function and MUM does not recognize all fixtures,
address and configure groups or fixtures separately (see "If MUM
cannot recognize all the fixtures" on page 39).
To set up the system:
1. Install Tripix fixtures on a DMX link as described earlier. Do not
forget to add the DMX terminator at the end of the link.
2. Connect a USB port from the PC to DABS1 RJ45 port.
3. Connect the XLR output from the DABS1 to the DMX input adapter
cable and then to the "In" connector of the Power Inserter cable.
4. Connect the output from the Power Inserter cable to the input
cable tail of the first Tripix fixture on the link.
5. Apply power to the Power Inserter cable so that the fixtures on the
link are powered, wait for fixtures to reset, and then start up MUM.
6. Carry out setup as described below.
