Service and display messages
The MAC III Profile gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character short
code and a smaller full-text message in the display. The short code is visible at a distance, allowing error
identification with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more detailed
information about the error.
