K) Test Output
Although the display changes immediately, the tests that are started by this
command are delayed by half a second. This is to allow you to tap twice to go
straight to the 'Test All' without first going through the 'Test One' mode, or to exit
'Test One' mode by taping twice without without starting the 'Test All' mode.
A half a second after being toggled to ‘Test One Output’, a single output
selected by the 'Output to Test & Adjust' command will be ramped up and down.
This can be a DMX-512 address that is for one of the Br-EFB's onboard axis, or
if the Br-EFB is sending out DMX-512, an axis that is off-board and controlled
through DMX. If an v1.1 AutoDownload file is loaded, then the Br-EFB will know
what resolution to use for ramping the off-board outputs. Digital functions are
turned on and off. Analog functions are ramped up and down.
When pressed a second time, a half second later this command will begin to
‘Test All Outputs’. The on-board outputs will be ramped between their two
extremes, one at a time. Any axis that is disabled will be skipped.
The default ramp time is about 5 seconds. The default time the output dwells
at each extreme is about one second. These can be changed by holding down
the <Control>+K. You will be prompted to enter the time for the ramp and dwell.
Q) ‘Jog’ Outputs to a Value
This command is used to force an output to any value. This value can be
written into EEprom Memory so that the output will never leave this value, even
after the Br-EFB is reset. It can be used to 'lock down' a movement that has
malfunctioned or needs to be positioned for servicing or adjustment. Any outputs
which have been ‘Jogged’ will be displayed in the ‘Jog’ output column on the
display.
T) Set Power-On Defaults
The Power On defaults are used by the Br-EFB only if there is no
AutoDownload file found or DMX-512/Serial RealTime data being received. If
there is a AutoDownload file on the µSd/µSdHC/µSdXc flash card in the Br-EFB,
the first frame of the first show will automatically be loaded at power up. The
power On defaults will have no effect.
This command allows you to set the value that will be output on any one of
the 512 possible output addresses. This value will be sent out when the Br-EFB
is first powered up. This command gives you the option of:
