Load Default Calibrations
- The item loads default (factory) calibration values.
Updating software
- The menu item allows you to update software in the fixture via either serial or USB port
of PC.
The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP or Linux
- DMX Software Uploader
- Flash cable RS232/DMX No.13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)
- Robe Universal Interface (if you want to use an USB port of PC)
Note 1: Software update should execute a qualified person. If you lack qualification, do not attempt the upda
-
te
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2: DMX address, IP address, programs 1-3 and all items in the menu "Personality" will be set to their
default (factory) values.
To update software in the fixture:
I. Installation of the 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. If the Robe fixture is produced in both magnetic
and electronic ballast version, name of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.
II.Fixture software updating.
1.Determine which of your ports is available on your PC and connect it:
- with the DMX input of the fixture if you using the flash cable RS232/DMX
- with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface if you using the USB cable.
Disconnect the fixture from the other fixtures in a DMX chain. Turn both the computer and
the fixture on. Make sure the lamp is switched off (only if the fixture involves a lamp).
2. Switch the fixture to the updating mode by touching the "Updating Software " item
Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture
to escape from this menu.
We recommend to cancel all running programs before starting the Software Uploader.
3. Run the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click on the Connect button.
(Select COM if the serial port is used or Robe Universal Interface if the USB port is used).
If the connection is OK, click on the “Start Uploading button“ to start uploading. It will take several
minutes to perform software update.
If the option "Incremental Update" is not checked, all processors will be updated (including
processors with the same software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, check the “Incremental Update box“.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the Info Box window.
When the update is finished, the line with the text “The fixture is successfully updated“ will appear in
this window and the fixture will reset with the new software.
Note: In the case of an interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture keeps the updating mode
and you have to repeat the software update again.
8. RDM
This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications
for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific moving lights.
