Updating software
- Using this function you can update software in the fixture via PC and serial link.
The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows 5//2500/XP or Linux
- DMX Software Uploader
- Flash cable RS22/DMX (No.10502)
Note1
:Software update should execute a qualified person.If you lack qualification, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2
:DMX address, IP address ,programs 1- and all functions in menu Personality will be set to their default values.
To update software in the fixture:
1
.Installation of DMX Software Uploader.
1.
DMX Software Uploader program is available from the ROBE web site at WWW.robe.cz.
2
.Make a new directory ( e.g. Robe_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.
3
.Unpack the program from the archive. Program file has name:DSU_name of corresponding
fixture_SoftwareID.If the Robe fixture is produced in magnetic and electronic ballast version, name
of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.
SoftwareID describes the versions of fixture software included in DMX Software Uploader. Higher
number means later software versions.
2.
Fixture software updating.
1
.Determine which of your COM port is available on your PC and connect it with to the DMX input of the
fixture using the Flash cable. Do not extend this cable! Disconnect the fixture from the other fixtures
in DMX chain! Turn on the computer and the fixture. Make sure that the lamp is switched off.
2
.Switch the fixture to the update mode by selecting the option Updating Software in menu Special Functions
on the fixture control panel.(From this option you cannot return back to the main menu. If you do not want to
continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture to leave this option!)
3
.It is recommended that you exit all programs before running this Software Uploader.
4
.Start the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click Connect button.
If the conection is OK, click Start Uploading button to start uploading. It will take several minutes to perform
software update. If the option "Incremental Update"isn´t checked ,all processors will be updated (including
processors with the same software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, enable the Incremental Update check box.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the list window.
When the update is finished, the line with the text “The fixture is successfuly updated‘ will appear in this
window and the fixture will reset with the new software.
Note: In the case of interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture remains in the update mode and you
have to repeat the software update again.
For example: The fixture was switched off before finishing software upload. After switching the fixture on again, the fixture
is still in the update mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat software update
from your PC.
10. Low power mode
This mode omits fixture reset after switching the fixture on and lowers motor powers of the fixture. „Low power mode” is
useful in special casech.g. if the fixture is in a flight case and you want to set its DMX address without taking it out from
the case. To enter „Low power mode”:
Press and hold [ENTER] and at the same time switch on the Power switch. The following message appears:
Realy Skip Initial Reset?
Escape/Enter
Press [ENTER] to activate „Low power mode” without fixture reset.Now you can set features and behaviour of the fixture
by using „Fixture Address” menu and „Personality” menu.It is expected,that this mode will be exited by switching the fixture
off, but if you want to go directly to „normal operation mode”, execute any fixture reset.
Note: All motors in „Low power mode” are deactivated and switching the lamp on from the control panel is blocked.
