RESTORING THE SOFTWARE

RESTORING THE SOFTWARE

1. Re-Installing LIGHT PALETTE Software Application

If it is necessary to re-install the LIGHT PALETTE application onto the processor, follow the steps below.

Note:  

The processor always looks to removable media first upon startup for software updates. Therefore, it is 

important not to leave the LIGHT PALETTE Application CD or USB Key in the processor. This method does not 
archive the install, but you can always store the CD. Follow the procedure below to re-install.

To re-install LIGHT PALETTE software:

Step 1. Install LIGHT PALETTE PC on computer.
Step 2. Contact Strand Lighting Technical Service.
