Pattern 255: Test Pattern / Moving Pixel ID
This pattern sets all pixels to black and then sequentially sets one pixel at a time to white.
This is useful for troubleshooting addressing or wiring problems.
Note that this test pattern cycles sequentially through all 1024 pixels, so it can take quite
some time to complete. If you have a small system with less than 1024 pixels, you will see
no change in your fixtures after the last pixel is flashed until the pattern completes and
starts over again. You can reselect the pattern or reset the controller to start the pattern
over again without waiting.
By default, when the C1 is powered on, it will resume playing the same pattern that was active when the
controller was last turned off.
5.3.2 Playback
The C1 can playback a pattern in any of five different modes:
•
Loo (LOOP): The pattern continuously loops, starting over at frame 1 immediately after the last frame.
•
hld (HOLD): The pattern plays once until the end, and then freezes on the last frame of the pattern.
The last frame is displayed until a new pattern is selected.
•
one (ONCE): Similar to HOLD, the pattern plays once until the end. After the last frame, the output is set
to black and remains black until a new pattern is selected.
•
bnc (BOUNCE): The pattern plays continuously forward, then backwards.
•
all (ALL): All user-defineable patterns are played sequentially. After the last pattern is finished, the first
pattern starts to play again.
5.3.3 ID
This mode sets the C1’s start address for the incoming DMX data. See the DMX section for details.
5.3.4 Resolution
This mode sets the C1’s DMX resolution. See the DMX section for details.
5.3.5 Brightness
The C1 has a brightness level ranging from 1 (dimmest) to 10 (brightest). This can be used to match the system
output to low ambient light levels.
5.3.6 Red, Green, and Blue Balance
These three modes offer the ability to adjust the white balance color of the output by decreasing the ouput for
each primary LED color (Red, Green, and Blue). The default maximum level for each color is 63. The range of
possible values is from 0 – 63.
5.3.7 Reference Voltage
Similar to the Brightness function, the Reference Voltage value will affect the output level. The value can be
adjusted 1–15.
