Special functions
Initialization
Only use this feature when it is absolutely essential as it will entirely erase all information
about
shows
and
sequences
in memory. However, this is the only way to regain control of
your controller when information about
sequences
is too damaged to be restored in the
usual way.
Use this function only if you really want to erase all
sequence
information as the controller
will be returned to the state it was in when you first purchased it.
The procedure is as follows:
1 Switch off the controller then switch it back on.
2 Wait until {robo} has stopped flashing.
3 Press [level], [on line] and [setup] at the same time and keep them down.
4 The display shows { In }.
5 Press [enter] to erase all memory, or turn the controller off, and then back on if you
wish to cancel.
Write-protecting the memory
If you want to prevent unauthorized personnel from overwriting the memory contents in your
2308 controller you may write-protect the memory. Unplug the controller from the mains and
remove the jumper labelled ’SEQ STORE ENABLE’ located at the top edge of the front
PCB.
The 2308 Controller will give a warning when trying to save data to a write-protected
memory. If the memory is write-protected the controller will display a {-Pr-}, thereby giving
warning when entering Edit Seq or Edit Show modes. It will also warn if you try to save
other information such as setup or configuration. To clear the warning message press
[enter].
Using external joystick
By connecting an external joystick (standard digital or micro-switch type) you may duplicate
the functions of the built-in joystick as well as some of the functions from the front panel
(
gobo
,
color
,
shutter
and
speed
). The functions which are duplicated depend on the exact
connection of the joystick to the controller. The label on the rear of the controller shows how
to connect the external joystick.
Transferring data from one Controller to another
In order to transfer (copy) data from one controller to another please note that both
controllers MUST have at least software version 2.0 and they MUST have the same memory
installed in them (eg. 611 scenes).
In the following the term
upload
is used to describe the process of transferring data from a
source controller and
download
describes the process of receiving data to a target
