Super User Mode
Introduction
In SUPER USER Mode the presets and memory functions are disabled. The user
has the options of setting recovery to on or off, clearing all the programmed
memories and resetting the DMX patch, locking the desk, patching the desk channels
to the DMX and saving or loading memory data, as well as setting up auxiliaries and
remote inputs, and changing the online help language.
Numeric fields can be filled using the Preset B flash buttons as number entry keys.
Channel1 flash button will enter a 1, Channel2 will enter a 2, etc, through to 10,
which will enter a 0.
Entering Super User Mode
To enter Super User Mode press and hold SHIFT and the MODE button together.
The SUPER USER LED next to the MODE button comes on. The monitor and LCD
show the software version (eg Jester 48 r2 V3.2) and the Desk Serial Number (eg
0010900 05251234), as well as the first two options in Super User.
Notes
Hardware Revisions
There are 2 versions of the processor board used in the Jester – r1 and r2. There are
no external visible differences – you can see which version is fitted in the Super User
Menu.
Software update JOS files will work on either version of hardware. Showfiles are
completely compatible between hardware versions.
The main operational difference is that the r2 hardware supports USB Keyboards, the
r1 hardware does not.
Exiting Super User Mode
To exit SUPER USER mode press and hold the MODE button for 1 second. The
desk will return to PROGRAM mode.
