To update software in the fixture:
1. DSU file is available from Robe web site at WWW.robe.cz.
File with extension zip is intended for Windows (used and tested from XP to W10 on 32/64bit systems).
File with extension tbz is intended for Linux (used and tested on Debian and Ubuntu 32/64bit).
File with extension dmg is intended for macOS (used and tested on OSX up to Sierra) XQuartz required,
install it from https://www.xquartz.org/
Save the download file to a folder on your computer.
In case that you use windows, extract files in the zip file (e.g. DSU_RobinT1Profile_18100828.zip)
2. Disconnect the fixture from DMX controller.
3. If you use the flash cable RS232/DMX, connect a serial port of your computer with DMX input of the fixture
by means of the cable.
If you use the Robe Universal Interface, connect a USB port of your computer with the Robe Universal Interface
by means of the USB cable and DMX input of the fixture with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface
via a DMX cable.
4. Switch the fixture to the update mode (tab "Service" --> Update Software).
Note: If you do not want to continue in the software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture
to escape from the updating mode.
We recommend to cancel all running programs on your computer before starting the software update.
5. Double-click the software uploader file (e.g. DSU_RobinT1Profile_18100828.exe) in
the extracted files. The Software Uploader program will start running.
6. Select correct "COM " number if you use a Flash cable RS232/DMX or select " Robe Universal Interface "
if you use the Robe Universal Interface/Robe Universal Interface WTX and then click on the "Connect" button.
7. If the connection is OK, click the “Start Uploading" button to start software uploading. It will take several
minutes to perform software update.
If the option "Incremental Update" is not checked, all processors will be updated (including processors with
the same software version).
If you wish to update only processors with new version of software, check the “Incremental Update box“.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the "Info Box" window.
When the update is finished, the line with the text “Fixture is successfully updated“ will appear in
this window.
In case upload process is interrupted (e.g. power loss), the fixture stays in “Updating mode” and you will have
to repeat the software update again.
Another way, how to update software in the fixtures (especially large installation of fixtures) is to use the ROBE
Uploader. It is a software for automatized software update of Robe fixtures. It takes advantage of RDM
support).

8. RDM
This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications
for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.
