   Load Default Calibrations

 - The item loads default (factory) calibration values. 

Update software

 - 

The menu item allows you to update software in the fixture.

The following items are required in order to update software:

- PC running Windows or Linux or macOS

- DSU file 

- Flash cable RS232/DMX, P/N13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)

- Robe Universal Interface or Robe Universal interface WTX (if you want to use an USB port of PC)

After the software updating the fixture will be set to default (factory) values.

To update software in the fixture:

1. DSU file is available from Robe web site at WWW.robe.cz.

    File with extension zip is intended for Windows (used and tested from XP to W10 on 32/64bit systems).

    File with extension tbz is intended for Linux (used and tested on Debian and Ubuntu 32/64bit).

    File with extension dmg is intended for macOS (used and tested on OSX up to Sierra) XQuartz  required,

    install it from https://www.xquartz.org/

    Save the download file to a folder on your computer.

    In case that you use windows, extract files in the zip file (e.g. DSU_RobinSuperSpikie_18082037.zip) 

2. Disconnect the fixture from DMX controller.

3. If you use the flash cable RS232/DMX, connect a serial port of your computer with DMX input of the fixture

    by means of the cable.

    If you use the Robe Universal Interface, connect a USB port of your computer with the Robe Universal Interface

   by means of the USB cable and DMX input of the fixture with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface 

   via a DMX cable.

4. Switch the fixture to the update mode (Service --> Updating Software).

   Note: If you do not want to continue in the software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture

   to escape from the updating mode.

   We recommend to cancel all running programs on your computer before starting the software update.

5. Double-click the software uploader file (e.g. DSU_RobinSuperSpikie_18082037.exe) in 

   the extracted files. The Software Uploader program will start running.
