NEW IN SOFTWARE VERSION "MASTERPIECE MAIN No.1.i" - 12-03-91
The
Remote Control DIN Socket
is operational - see appendix 4. This allows great scope for expanding the system
- for example a number of Masterpieces can be used to control different sections of equipment under the control of a
"master" Masterpiece.
NEW IN SOFTWARE VERSION "MASTERPIECE MAIN No.1.1" - 09-04-91
Improvements in the operation of
1 shot chases.
NEW IN SOFTWARE VERSION "MASTERPIECE MAIN No.1.2" - 09-05-91
Security Code
- rather than any 4 key presses on the Keyboard, the correct security code is now required for
Memory to Card, Card to Memory, Swap Memory and Card (both keys together) and now for Set User Access Levels.
The security code has a fixed value of:
12, 6, 7, 1.
If a Keyboard key is not pressed within 5 seconds, the program mode required is cancelled and the word "CNCL" is
displayed. The word "FAIL" is displayed if the wrong code is entered.
Set User Access Levels (SUAL)
- to enable or disable any slider or pad. For example, to allow the operator the use
of an Environment Keyboard of pre-programmed effects but disable everything else to prevent accidental corruption of
the program or changes to the show.
Operation: press the SUAL key, enter the code, after the correct code the word "SUAL" is displayed, now all the
LEDs show whether a pad or slider is currently accessible or not. Touch a pad to change its accessibility - the LED
changes state and the display shows "ON" / "OFF". For sliders, move the slider to change its accessibility - if the
slider is over 50% its LED is on and it is accessible, at less than 50% its LED is off and the slider is disabled. Press
the SUAL pad again to finish. The word "DONE" is displayed or "CNCL" if no changes have been made.
When a pad or slider is disabled, its level before entry to SUAL is permanently maintained.
Touching a disabled pad makes the SUAL LED flash and puts the word "SUAL" in the display.
Moving a disabled slider also makes the SUAL LED flash but puts the slider's level in the display to "view" it.
SUAL mode may be used during a show without affecting the performance.
Parking Sliders
at 0 no longer engages them to zero level Channels/Keyboard Masters.
NEW IN SOFTWARE VERSION "MASTERPIECE MAIN No.1.3" - 17-05-91
Concurrent Programming
- besides SUAL, the other programming functions - Save Output To Scene, Program
Chase Sequence and Save Environment of Channels Scenes and Chases all run concurrently with the light show
without affecting it.
Release All
- (R Slider Action pads together), is now available to release any slider from having overriding
control of an output Channel Level on any of the 6 Output Select pages or of a KeyBoard Master level on any of the 18
KeyBoards.
