Navigation Buttons
These buttons are used to navigate menus on the CM.
Timing Controls
The pause button can be used for the control of the timing of internally timed shows. In future
releases they will be used to control the Audio Module.
Numpad (10-key number pad)
The Numpad is used to navigate menus, make menu selections, change which module is being
viewed, etc. When there is a # on the screen, enter a number to select that selection, or select
that module. While some numbers, like the module ID, show as “001” the leading zeros do not
need to be entered on the pad when entering a module ID.
Channel Selection
The channel selection buttons are used in the SHOW menu and when selecting a caliber or
disable function. When firing a manual show, these buttons will select which firing pin will fire
next. Note these buttons do not fire the channel, they select the channel. The FIRE button is
then pushed to actually fire the selection. Once fired, the selected channel will automatically
advance to the next available shot, so that it does not have to be selected before firing. When
firing a scripted show, these buttons will activate the caliber/disable functions if they are written
into the show file. If a continuity test has been performed, the LEDs under the shots will
illuminate to show channels with good continuity.
When in the Calibers/Disables page, these buttons can be used to enable or disable the disables.
The Calibers/Disable page can be reached via the SHOW screens or the MENU->1 function.
Mini USB Port
This function is currently not in use. Future functionality will be to allow a tablet device to view
and control the CM.
USB Input
The USB port is used to load
choreography or software
updates. Plug the flash drive
with the choreography or
updates into this port. Files
must be stored in the root
directory of the drive. Cannot
be used to connect to
anything other than a USB
memory stick or thumb drive.
