C F : T h e C Y C L E T E S T C o m m a n d [ D X ]
This diagnostic command initiates a CYCLE test for the projection system. When in the CYCLE mode, the projector
plays all programmed shows on the current reel of film in cine mode, then reverses to the beginning of Show #1 and
repeats the sequence. If the
AUTO DOUSER
command (See Section 2.8.37) has been entered prior to the
CYCLE
TEST
command, then the projector will automatically open the douser for each showing. The number of cycled shows is
equal to the value set with the
SET MAXIMUM SHOWS
command (see Section 0).
This sequence repeats until the projector is told to perform some other type of movement. The test ends when a second
CYCLE TEST
command is entered. The current cycle completes, and the system returns to the start point of the first
show. A
STOP
command pauses the cycle; a
FORWARD
or
REVERSE
command resumes operation.
