Updating software
The latest MAC 600/E software is available from your Martin dealer and the Martin Professional web site. Be sure to read the
upgrade notes included with the software.
Software updates are installed using a Martin MPBB1, MP-2, or a LightJockey 4064 DMX interface card. The procedure is
found in the upload device’s user manual and, when using the 4064 card, the Martin Software Uploader program’s online help
file.
Normal upload
The uploader is connected to the fixture just like a controller. Under normal conditions, software can be installed from a
remote location - there is no need to set the MAC 600/E to boot mode. Please refer to the uploader manual for instructions.
Boot mode upload
If the data is corrupted during transmission a check-sum error (CSER) will occur and after 15 seconds the fixture will auto-
matically switch over to boot mode (
UPLd) and be ready for a boot mode upload.
If a software upload to the MAC 600/E is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds before a new
upload can be attempted. When powered on, a check-sum error will occur and it will automatically go into boot mode, ready
for a second upload attempt. Select boot mode upload on the upload device.
If there is no functional software in the MAC 600/E memory, the fixture must be set to boot mode manually before starting the
upload. If the control panel works, select
UPLd from the SPEC menu and confirm when SURE is displayed by pressing
[ENTER].
If the control panel does not work, boot mode can be engaged by mov-
ing jumper PL121 on the main circuit board to pins 1 and 2 as follows.
1. Remove the printed circuit board as described above. It
may not be necessary to unplug the connectors.
2. Position jumper PL121 to boot mode (INIT) as shown
above. See also the circuit board layout diagram on
page 24.
3. Plug in any unplugged connectors, apply power to the MAC 600/E, and proceed with the upload.
4. After the upload, disconnect the fixture from the electricity, move the jumper back to the normal setting,
and replace the circuit board.
