at RST to ENABLED). The set patch will now be loaded when the Lightboard is reset.
37.6.4. Tools, Software Updates… (79)
The LT-Light Ebox converters can be configured here. In these converters the Ethernet data
signal is converted back to DMX-XLR5. The DMX signal can be converted back anywhere in
Ethernet installation in to which Piccolo is connected.
37.7. TEST
37.7.1. All Inputs (80), functions and LT-Link (88)
In this menu it is possible to test any the console parts. These tests “interrupt” the working mode of
Piccolo. Do not test any functions during a show. Tests for:
Inputs: tests the functions of faders, the keys and the wheel. Each element is tested by moving
it or pressing it manually
Outputs: tests the functions of LEDs, the display, the work lights and beep. Use the arrow keys
to select the items for the test
Vga & Display: tests the function of the external video and the display.
Dmx In: Reads the DMX-IN signal, also if deactivated in the menu
Dmx Out: shows the DMX-OUT signal
Memory: tests the consistency of the system data memory
Midi & LT-Link: Test the MIDI port and the LT-LINK port. In both cases, follow the
instructions on the screen right to end of the test procedure

38. OLE
Piccolo has a simulator Off Line Editor for PC which shows the console on screen. This software
can be used to study the console and to edit/modify shows. It is also needed for some functions such
as for example to print a show and read or write a show in ASCII format…
To exchange data between console and the OLE (or vice versus) store the show to your USB stick
and then copy it to the same folder in the OLE program directory. It can then be loaded by the OLE
and can also be stored there. If this modified or new show should be made available to the Piccolo
then copy it back to the subdirectory of the USB stick.
This OLE has DMX output to Ethernet if the OLE is connected to the console (by Ethernet). If
Piccolo is not connected the OLE is running as “demo” and only outputs DMX to Ethernet for 20
minutes.
Each Piccolo software version has its OLE correspondent, and only these versions can work
together. Piccolo OLE does not need an installations process. It is only necessary to unzip the
downloaded file to a folder and to start it by making a link on your desktop or by selecting the OLE
file with your mouse.
OLE requires:
As a minimum, a PC with WIN-XP or WIN7. The OLE requires no power in the PC and does not
need much video memory. It is recommendable to configure the PC screen for graphics with 256
colours or for the 16 bit colour mode.
For an easy way to use the OLE, in addition to the mouse, there is a correspondence between the
functions and PC keyboard.
