Control panel 13
If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adXusted. The first is
selected under
$ & # %

' # ! 6

2 1 " &
. The default,
2 1 " ,
, is the best choice with controllers that
calculate intermediate positions at a steady rate. Begin by selecting the alternative,
21"7
, which is better
if the intermediate positions stray significantly from the line of travel.
The second parameter is the number of position updates used to calculate speed. The level is adXustable
between - and -0 under

. Increasing the number of samples increases the distance
over which speed is calculated, making movement smoother but less responsive to sudden changes.
Experiment for best results.

display, press jUpk and jDownk simultaneously.

There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On Z
!310
[ and DMT Lamp Off Z
"31/
[.
When
!310
is off, the lamp remains off until a nlamp ono command is received from the controller. When
!310
is on, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When
!310
is set to
829
, the
lamp strikes automatically when the fixture receives DMT data, and it extinguishes -5 minutes after DMT
data is lost.
When
!310
is set to either
10
or
829
, the automatic lamp strike timing is staggered to prevent all lamps
from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
If striking lamps from the controller, note that striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large
enough to prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. Avoid this by programming a nlamp
ono se_uence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
Power to the lamp can be turned off from the controller if DMT Lamp Off Z

Shutter dimming curves
Two dimming curves are available for the mechanical shutter system for adXusting intensity

[. The default, dimmer curve -, simulates the dimming of a tungsten lamp. Dimmer curve 2
applies a linear algorithm to intensity adXustment, that results in even adXustment across the whole dimming
range. Note that this setting has no effect on the optional dimming wheel, that uses a logarithmic dimming
curve.

Custom settings
The custom configuration function allows you to save and recall three sets of fixture settings. The savable
settings are DMT mode, pan7tilt speed, pan7tilt inverse and swap, DMT lamp off and reset, display settings,
shortcuts, studio mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking algorithm, and tracking samples.
Readouts

the fixture control panel.
