3.2  Allocating the first addressed channel

In order to receive the commands necessary to operate from a lighting console, each fixture has to be allocated a
start address. This address normally indicates the first channel used (start channel) and can be allocated following
a different criterion from that used to connect the signal line. Giotto Profile uses 27 controls channels, so during
allocation, this quantity must be borne in mind to avoid possible overlapping of other fixtures' channels, which
would cause problems with the perfect control of all the available functions. Should it be necessary, it's possible to
allocate the same start channel to several fixtures, in this case the fixtures will all follow the same commands, but
can't be controlled separately. To address fixtures correctly, proceed as follows:

1. Connect Giotto Profile to the power supply, wait until it has completed reset operations and “DMX

signal” appears on the display.

2. Use the UP/DOWN keys to find the “Addr” menu 
3. Press ENTER to confirm. The message on the display starts to flash.
4. Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the channel required.
5. Press ENTER to confirm.

3.3  Direction of Pan movement

This function allows to decide the direction in which the Giotto's moving head pans, indispensable when several
fixtures are installed in order that fixtures installed opposite each other move in the same direction when they
receive a command.
To modify Pan movement, proceed as follows:

1.

Connect the Giotto Profile to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX
signal” appears on the display.

2.

Use the UP/DOWN keys to find the  “Pmove” menu 

3.

Press ENTER to confirm. The message on the display will start to flash.

4.

Use the UP/DOWN keys to select which of the two available options is required (see table pag.15).

5.

Press ENTER to confirm.

3.31  Setting Pan starting angle

The Giotto fixture has a Pan movement range of  540° (a revolution and a half ). If the entire excursion doesn't have
to be used, two parameters allow to set the starting angle (PP_min) and ending angle (PP_max). The only limit is the
minimum difference between starting (MIN) and ending angle (MAX), which is 4°.
To limit Pan movement, proceed as follows:

1.

Connect Giotto Profile to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX
signal”

appears on the display.

2.

Use the UP/DOWN keys to find the  “PP_min” menu if the starting angle has to be modified. If the
ending angle has to be modified, find the “PP_max” menu.

3.

Press ENTER to confirm. The message on the display will start to flash.

4.

Use the UP/DOWN keys to select the new starting (or ending) angle.

5.

Press ENTER to confirm.
