Resetting the Console
You can clear the entire console memory and install factory default parameters.
Warning!
All programming will be lost along with Fixture Definitions. Use
this procedure only if the console is known to have corrupted memory,
and clearing memory from the Console Setup menu does not solve the
problem.
To reset the console:
1
Turn off power to the console.
2
Hold down the four Function buttons above the LCD display.
3
Turn the power switch on while holding the buttons down.
4
Release the buttons once the LCD display shows the !!Initializing
Console!! message.
It will take approximately 20 seconds for the memory to clear and
initialize.
Disk Setup
Consoles equipped with a disk drive will have an additional disk menu that can be
accessed from teh Setup menu. Disk drive utilities include Format, Delete, Load,
and Save. All console programming can be saved and loaded from the disk in
binary or ASCII format. Since the disk format used is MSDOS compatible, the
ASCII formatted files can be useful for offline editing. You can write a fixture's
definition with a word processor or text editor, and load it into the console using
the disk drive. Scene and pattern step levels are saved in fixture definition form
rather than as raw numbers. To change the color of a fixture from blue to red you
just need to enter the new label. (The label must match those defined in the
fixture's definition.) The console performs the translation as the file is loaded.
