User Fixture Types
User Fixture Types are files created when a required
fixture is not included within the Zero 88 Fixture Library.
These files are loaded into the console using the same
method as detailed within “ZerOS Showfiles”. Once
loaded, a confirmation
will appear saying “x Fixture Types
loaded” (x being the number of fixtures included within the
single file). These will be loaded into the main library,
ready to be patched in the usual way.
(See “User fixture types”
on page 28 for more information)
.
Zero 88 Fixture Library
The Zero 88 Fixture Library contains a library of thousands
of fixtures you may wish to use with FLX S. This library is
regularly updated, and can be downloaded free of charge
from the Zero 88 website. These files are loaded into the
console
using the same method as detailed within “ZerOS
Showfiles”. Once loaded, the new library will not take effect
until the console has been restarted (which can be done
straight away, or at a more convenient time later).
(See “Zero
88 Fixture library
” on page 28 for more information).
Installing new software
ZerOS, the software running on FLX S, is regularly
updated as a free update from the Zero 88 website. This
software is loaded into the console using the same method
as detailed within “ZerOS Showfiles”. Once loaded, you will
be required to restart the console before you can continue.
The software installation process completely removes all
data on the console, including any current show files. If the
current show file is still required, please ensure that
backups are taken before proceeding with the update.
After completing the update you may re-load your show if
required.
Clear Options
Clear options allows you to clear certain areas of the
console, or reset the console back to factory settings.
The “Clear Options” section of Setup
Clearing specific areas of the console
Data stored on the console is separated into eight areas,
each of which can be cleared independently to each other.
Alternatively, “Clear All” will clear all eight sections in one
go. Selecting any of these options will offer confirmation
before clearing. Once confirmed, this action cannot be
undone. These eight areas are:
-
Colour Palettes
-
Beamshape Palettes
-
Position Palettes
-
Effect Palettes
-
Macros
-
Groups
-
Playbacks
Clear User Fixture Types
A separate option, that is not included within “Clear All”, is
“Clear User Files”. This removes all User Fixture Types
from the internal library. Although this removes user fixture
types from the console, any fixtures being used within a
specific showfile are stored within that showfile itself.
(See
“User fixture types” on page 28 for more information)
.
Reset Desk / Factory Reset
“Reset desk” will reset all settings and data on the console.
This cannot be undone. “Factory Reset” completely wipes
the console back to a fresh installation of ZerOS, requiring
the console to be restarted before you can continue.
