4-14 The x.Spot Menu System x.Spot™ User Manual
In the following parameter descriptions, the term Spin indicates motion
of the large wheel and
Rotate refers to motion of the smaller aperture
wheels holding individual lithopatterns or effects glass.
Gobo Function
The Gobo Function parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 23 for Gobo 1 and
DMX Channel 28 for the Effects wheel and determines how the gobo wheel moves.
The Gobo Function parameter can be enabled in either full speed (controller
crossfading the wheel positions), or MSpeed (MSpeed control of the wheel motor)
For more information about MSpeed, see “MSpeed (Motor Speed)” on page 4-8.
Gobo Position
The Gobo Position parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 24 for Gobo 1 and
DMX Channel 29 for the Effects wheel. A position can be set at the center of any
aperture on the gobo to perform the function selected in the Gobo Function channel.
Gobo Rotate Function
The Gobo Rotate Function parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 25 for Gobo 1
and Channel 30 for the Effects wheel. Gobo Rotate refers to the motion of the
individual aperture wheels. The Gobo Rotate Function parameter setting determines
which rotate options are available (see Table 4-9)
Gobo Rotate Coarse/Fine
DMX Channels 26 and 31 control the Rotate Coarse parameter on Gobo 1 and the
Effects wheel respectively. Rotate Coarse determines the coarse adjustment in 8-bit
increments of the effect apertures’ rotation position in the Indexed, Scan and Blink
modes. In Forward and Reverse modes, DMX values of 0-3 set the rotation to stop
and set speed from slow (4) to fast (255).
Gobo Rotate Fine parameter allows for fine adjustment (16-bit increments) of the
aperture rotation position in the Indexed, Scan and Blink modes. Gobo Rotate Fine is
controlled with Channel 27 for Gobo 1 and Channel 32 for the Effects wheel.

Gobo Function Description
Indexed
Allows the gobo wheel to take the quickest path and snap to the chosen
aperture.
Forward Spin Allows a forward gobo wheel spin at variable speeds.
Reverse Spin Allows a reverse gobo wheel spin at variable speeds.
Scan Oscillates the gobo wheel at a factory-determined range and speed.
Random Selects random aperture positions at variable speeds.
Blink Closes and opens the shutter on wheel position changes.
Continuous Sets a crossfade as the wheel moves between chosen aperture positions.
