The DMX log (



) menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems. 



 displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may

result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.     



 displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much

below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the
most common cause of control problems.      



 displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular

performance. 

The remaining options under 



 display the DMX values received on each of the 13 channels, from



 (shutter, channel 1) to 



 (effect speed, channel 13). If the fixture does not behave as expected,

reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

The manual control menu (

) provides commands for turning the lamp on (

), turning the lamp off

(

), and resetting the fixture (

). It also permits you to position and move individual effects.

The test sequence (

Note: the test sequence does not automatically strike the lamp. Use

Magnetic sensors monitor the positions of the color wheel, gobo wheel, and rotating gobos. If they detect an
error, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback off

With the calibration menu (
