Troubleshooting
Update the Fixture Software
ETC recommends using UpdaterAtor software to manage software updates.
For information on UpdaterAtor, see the
UpdaterAtor Software Quick Guide
and the
UpdaterAtor Software Release Note, which you can download from
.
You can push newer software versions from a connected fixture to selected
ColorSource fixtures (see table that follows). You can push newer software
versions from a connected fixture only on ColorSource fixtures running
software v1.3.0 or newer. Use UpdaterAtor to update individual fixtures
running versions older than v1.3.0.
Note:
If you have other types of fixtures in your DMX run, you do not
need to disconnect them before pushing the updated fixture
software. The update process will ignore any other fixture types in the
DMX run.
Note:
Not sure what version of fixture software is installed? The
version number appears on the display when the fixture powers up.
