The control wheels allow you to set 16-bit control values to the fixtures,
and have an acceleration function so you don’t have to spin the wheel
for hours if you need to make large changes to the fixtures.
Hold down the YPL button and press the 2 button to set the different
wheel acceleration curves. The current curve is shown on the main part
of the screen. “Linear Fast” has the fastest response and “Linear Slow”
the slowest and most accurate.

User functions
12.2.1
The Wipe menu
This menu is obtained by turning the key to System mode and then
pressing A [Service]. Softkey F [Wipe] then selects the Wipe menu.
You can selectively wipe various parts of the console, or you can wipe
the whole thing. Press softkeys B, C and D to turn the wipe options on
and off. The option is highlighted when that wipe option is turned on.
The options are:
A [Cancel] - quits Wipe mode
B [Patch] - Sets the Patching to be wiped. The programming and
individual Palettes will also be wiped (as they would mean nothing
without the patch), however shared palettes (see page 79) will remain.
C [Palettes]- Sets the Palettes (including shared palettes) to be wiped.
D [Programming] - Sets the memories, chases and theatre stack to
be erased. The Patch and palettes (shared and individual) will remain.
F [Wipeall] - Will wipe the whole memory, setting the console back to
factory default state. The settings of the B, C and D options are ignored.
G [OK] - Will wipe the memory as set by options B, C and D.
12.2.2
Disk functions
Press the Disk button to display the disk menu. The options are:
A [Load show from disk] - The DLC-C003 displays the name of the
show on the disk. This is shown on the VDU screen only. Press
Enter to load it or Exit to cancel.
B [Save show to disk] - Saves the contents of the console to the disk.
Type a name for the show, then press Enter. The DLC-C003 will
ask if you want to make the show compatible with Sep 2048
software. Press softkey B for No or A for Yes (Sound to light
options will be lost if you select Yes).
C [Verify disk] – Compares the show on the disk to the contents of
the DLC-C003.
D [Format options] - Allows you to format a disk to 720K or 1.44M,
then optionally save a show when the format is complete. This is
also a handy way to wipe a disk if you don’t have a blank disk
with you.
E [Catalogue] – Displays (on the VDU screen) the show file on the
disk.
F [Import Chase] – You can import a matrix chase created on an
external PC application using this feature. To import a chase,
insert the disk containing the chase you wish to import and select
this option.
