Chapter 13: Memory
Software Version 3.05
151
You can clear all memory in the console and reset the main processor in the
console by performing what is called a “Hard Clear”. This totally clears
anything that has been stored in RAM. No show information will remain in
memory after you perform a Hard Clear. The System Settings will be reset to
their default settings as shown in Table 13.1 (see next topic). If the console has
experienced a power surge or other anomaly that you think may have caused
your console to malfunction, it is recommended that you perform a Hard Clear.
? EXAMPLE: To perform a Hard Clear:
1. Save your show to disk if you wish to save the show information. This
procedure will erase all
information in the console RAM.
2. Hold down the [CLEAR] key. Keep it held down until this
procedure is complete.
3 While continuing to hold down the [CLEAR] key, turn the keyswitch
to OFF.
4. Wait approximately five seconds.
5. Turn the keyswitch to ON.
6. Wait for the display to fully reappear on the monitor.
7. Release the [CLEAR] key.
? NOTE: If you think the show has been corrupted as a result of a
malfunction, the disk file may also be corrupted when you save it. If you have
an earlier version of the show already saved on disk, it would be preferable to
retain that earlier file than to overwrite it and risk corrupting your only good
copy. If you have made any edits since that earlier version, you can save the
new “suspected corrupted” version as a different file name, and attempt to use
it after the Hard Clear.
System Settings in Memory
Some of the system settings from the Setup display are stored as part of the
show file when you record to disk. Other settings may not be recorded to disk,
but are kept in a separate part of the console memory that is not affected when a
new file is loaded into the console. If you clear memory with the (CLEAR
ALL) soft key, all system settings remain the same (except the Show File and
the Show Name). If you perform a “Hard Clear”, all settings except the
dimmer protocol are reset to their default settings. The dimmer protocol setting
always remains the same, unless the console battery is dead. The table on the
following page shows the system settings and how they are affected by loading
a show from disk:
