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. If the Robe fixture is produced in magnetic and electronic

 

 ballast version, name of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both 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 uploading cable. Do not extend this cable! Disconnect the fixture from the  

 

other fixtures in DMX chain! Turn on the computer and  the fixture. 

 

2

.Switch the fixture to the update mode by selecting the option Updating mode in menu Special

 

 Functions on the fixture control panel:SPEC-->UPd-->yES.(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 the 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.
