For systems with more than one lamp, the desired lamp should be selected
with the appropriate LAMP X button. The button will change colour indicating
lamp selection.
All subsequent commands will be directed to the selected lamp and all
displayed information will pertain to the selected lamp.
LAMP ON / OFF Buttons
These switch the lamp on and off. The 'LAMP ON' button will illuminate red to
indicate when the lamp is switched on. If the DUAL HEAD option in
SETTINGS is set there will be lamp on off button for each lamp head.
If the currently selected lamp is switched on or off from a different control
station the lamp on the LAMP ON button will change to indicate the current
lamp status.
FOCUS
When this button is selected with the mouse the lamp focus will operate
adjusting the lamps beam width as long as the left mouse button is held down
over the button. If the DUAL HEAD option in SETTINGS is set there will be
two focus buttons.
HOME
If a valid home position has been set, pressing the home button will cause the
lamp to drive to the home position. The home button will turn red while the
lamp is moving.
If another control station sets the lamp to home, the home button will turn red
while the lamp is moving to home.
PLAY
The FBUS system can store and recall sequences of lamp motion and lamp
on / off switching. Pressing the play button will start playing back a pre-
recorded sequence. The play button will turn red when a sequence is playing.
If another control station switches the lamp to play the button will turn red.
SET HOME
This button sets the current lamp position as the home position. The lamp will
move to this position when the Home button is pressed.
RECORD
Pressing Record begins a record sequence. Lamp movements and lamp on
off switching will be stored while the record system is active. Pressing Record
again finishes the record sequence. Note that when Record is pressed a
message box will appear asking the user to confirm the record command.
This is included to prevent accidental over writing of previously recorded
sequences. The record button will turn red while recording is active.
If a different control station initiates recording the record button will turn red.
