Setup 17

RDM Unique ID and manufacturer’s serial number

INFO→SNUM displays the fixture’s unique RDM ID number and the fixture’s serial number, both of which

are set at the factory and are non-resettable.

Manual control

The manual control menu (MAN) allows you to reset the fixture (RST) and control individual effects. See

‘Control Menu’ on page 39 for a full list of commands.

Manual control

The manual control menu MAN lets you control the fixture without a DMX controller. As well as letting you

reset the fixture and control individual effects, the manual control menu allows any combination of the 40

effect macros and 40 pan/tilt macros to be selected (MAN→EFMA and MAN→PTMA). Selecting a macro

starts a pre-programmed sequence of effects, effectively allowing you to run a stand-alone light show

without the need for a DMX controller.

Service utilities

Important! [Enter] must be held for several seconds to access the service menu SERV.

Test sequences

The TEST menu lets you test the fixture’s effects and pan/tilt without a controller. Note that TEST→PCBT

provides routines for circuit board testing that are for service use by Martin only.

DMX

The DMX log (DMXL) menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems.

RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may

result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking mode.

QUAL displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much

below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the

most common cause of control problems.

STCO displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular

performance.

The remaining options under DMXL display the DMX values received on each channel. If the fixture does

not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Feedback toggles

On-the-fly position correction systems monitor pan and tilt. If a position error is detected, the fixture

self-corrects. If the system cannot correct the position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically

disabled.

Pan/tilt position correction can be temporarily disabled by setting SERV→FEBA to off. The Off setting is

not saved, and position correction systems will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts.

Adjustment

The adjustment menu (SERV→ADJ) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments. See

page 40.

Calibration

The calibration menu (SERV→CAL) allows offsets relative to mechanical reset or home positions to be

entered in the fixture software. This lets you fine tune optical alignment and achieve uniform performance

between fixtures. Shutter fading and focus are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated

relative to an arbitrary reference fixture.

All offsets can be set to the middle of their adjustment range by applying the default offset command: select

SERV→CAL→DFOF→SURE then press [Enter].
