Programming (e.g. if you want to create program with 10 steps, set P.End=10).

“rEd.1 - rE.16”- a red LEDs saturation (0-255) 

“GrE.1 - Gr.16“ - a green LEDs saturation (0-255)

“bLu.1 - bL.16 “ -a blue LEDs saturation (0-255)

“Stro.“  - a strobe, shutter (0-255)

“dimr“  - a dimmer (0-255)

“F.tim.“  - a fade time, (0-25.5) seconds

“S.tim.“ -  step time, value (0-25.5) seconds

“COPY“. – this item duplicates the current prog. step to the next prog. step. The item “P.End” is increased 

                  automatically.

6. 

Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set a DMX value of the channel and then press the ENTER button.

7. 

Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select next channel and press the ENTER button.

8. 

After having set all channels in the current program step, press the MODE button to go by one

 

 menu level back and select another program step.

 DMX presetting

.The function allows to select desired DMX mode.Use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons  

to select desired channel mode

 (“

Mod.1-Mod.6

”)

 and press [ENTER] to confirm.For detail description of all 

channels see DMX protocol.

M.F.ti. --- Max. fade time.

 Select this menu item to set a desired max. fade time (0-5.5 sec.). This adjusted 

fade time influences fade of RGB and dimmer during DMX operation:

If time between two receiving DMX values is > than fade time set in the item M.F.ti., the entire adjusted fade 

time will be used.

If time between two receiving DMX values is < than fade time set in the item M.F.ti., the adjusted fade time will 

be reduced to fill entire time between the two receiving DMX values.

e.g. M.F.ti.=2sec. and fixture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It means, 

that  red will go to full intensity  during  seconds.

  M.F.ti.=8 sec. and fixture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It means, that  

red will go to full intensity  during 5 seconds. (Max, fade time is reduced from 8 sec. to 5 sec.).

Note

: the value adjusted in the item M.F. ti. will not influence fade time set in the program steps.

CALi.

 LED intensity calibration

.The menu allows you to adjust the max. light intensity of individual LEDs 

(colour channels),e.g. the light intensity of all red LEDs connected to the channel 4.This action is suitable in case 

that adjacent LEDs (e.g. in LED array) have a different light intensity (but these LEDs have to be connected to 

the different zones of the ArcPower 16x1).

Use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select desired LED,press [ENTER] and adjust suitable light intensity (0-55) 

using  [UP] and [Down] buttons,confirm by pressing [ENTER].This adjusted light intensity is its maximum intensity 

which can be reached if dimmer=255 DMX. After calibration all LEDs, select Stor

.

 to save adjusted values.

 Balance

.Select this function to enable (On) or disable (OFF) the white balance which is set in "White

-

tion for red, green and blue channels.

 White colour balance.

 Using this menu you can set white balance:

1.

 Set all red,green and blue channels on maximum  saturation(55)

2.

.Press [ENTER] button again and use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to adjust the new maximum value required 

for the red channel.Confirm your choice by pressing [ENTER].Use the [UP] and [Down] buttons to select next 

colour.

4.

Repeat step 3 for green channel "GrE.b

 Dimmer characteristic.

 The option allows selection from  the  dimming curves:

 

 

 EYE

 - The dimming curve takes into account a gamma curve

 

 

 

LinE

 - Linear running of the dimming curve.
