Colortran Encore Control Console
Software Version 3.05
A-2
After the console has recognized that you have inserted a valid Operating
System disk, you will be prompted to “cycle power on the console.” Simply
turn the keyswitch to “Off”, wait a few seconds, and turn it back to “On”. At
this point the new software begins loading. The entire process should take
about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the model of your console.
You must
not turn off the console or unplug power from it during this process . The
monitor screen will track the progress of the new software loading. The screen
will show verification of the existing read-only-memory (ROM) allocation; then
it will begin to overwrite the existing ROM. When this process is complete, a
message appears that indicates that the upgrade was successful, and instructs
you to turn the console off, then back on. Once again, simply turn the
keyswitch to “Off”, wait a few seconds, and turn it back to “On”.
At this point you can verify that you have successfully loaded new software by
observing the version number shown at the top of the Setup display.

If you should experience a power failure or other problem
that causes a malfunction during the upgrade procedure, turn the keyswitch to
“Off”, wait a few seconds, and turn it back to “On”. If you cannot restore the
console to normal functioning, call Colortran Field Service at (800) 959-6004
for further instructions.
Memory Test
You can perform a test of the Random Access Memory (RAM) in the console
by using the (TEST MEM) soft key, under the (MEMRY OPTNS) soft key in
the Setup display. The only reason to run this test is because the console
appears to be experiencing memory corruption. Usually memory corruption
occurs because the RAM battery is dead, so you may also want to check that it
is OK.
This test will delete all show information in memory , so you should
save your show to disk before performing a memory test. There is a warning
that requires you to verify that you want to run the memory test.
While the test is running, a box shows you its progress. You will see two
groups of numbers: one on the left, and one on the right. The numbers on the
left signify kilobytes of memory being tested, and the numbers on the right
increment every time that the full memory of the console has been tested. The
memory test will run until a memory error is encountered. If you leave the
console alone for a while and come back, you will see how many full memory
tests have run without encountering any memory errors. If the memory test has
stopped, it means that a memory error has occurred; you should call Colortran
Field Service if this occurs. Usually 10 to 20 successful passes at the full
memory test is conclusive that your memory is OK. Once you start a memory
test, you can only stop it by turning off the console with the keyswitch.
