LWR Protocol
Lightwave Research (LWR) protocol was created to enable 10-bit
resolution for mirror positioning. Other control protocols (including
DMX 512) allow for only 8-bit resolution. LWR protocol controls High
End Systems fixtures only. Other vendors besides High End Systems
have controllers that support LWR protocol. Consult the
documentation provided with your controller for information about
protocol support.
The Intellabeam
®
LCD Controller, Universal™ Controller, and the
Status Cue
®
System, all manufactured by Lightwave Research, support
LWR protocol and can be used to control Trackspot fixtures. Consult
the documentation provided with your controller to determine the
number of fixtures you can control per link.
Standard Analog
Trackspot can be controlled by any 0-10 volt analog controller.
When operating under an analog controller, each fixture must be
individually attached to the controller. The controller sends analog
output to each fixture that is connected to the controller. To determine
the number of fixtures per link that can be controlled by your analog
controller, consult the documentation provided with your controller.
Stand Alone Operation (Master/Slave)
Trackspot can be fully functional without the use of a controller. Stand
alone operation, also called master/slave mode, uses one fixture
(designated as the master) to control the other fixtures (designated as
the slaves). When operating in a master/slave mode, the master
fixture’s audio microphone registers ambient bass noise to advance
through Trackspot’s 32 preset programs.
For greater control of the preset programs while in master/slave mode,
connect the master fixture to a Trackspot
®
Special Analog Controller.
You can wire Trackspot fixtures operating in master/slave mode for
remote lamp enable/disable. For more information, see “Installing
Remote Enable/Disable” on page 2-6.
