SHOWGUN® Menu System

The SHOWGUN fixture can sense orientation and automatically inverts the display and the Center button’s functions when the fixture is mounted upside down.

Navigational Basics

1.Unlock the Menu system by pressing the Menu button for a few seconds until the display goes to the 2-line format.

2.Use the left and right arrows on the Center button to scroll through menu options at the current level.

3.Stop at the desired menu and press the Enter button to select.

Note: The new option will not be stored unless the Enter button is pressed.

4.If there is another level of menu choices repeat Steps 2 and 3.

5.At the option or setting level of the menu, use the Up and Down arrows on the Center button to scroll to the desired option or setting. The option flashes until the Enter button is pressed. Pressing the Enter button stores the new value for that option. Pressing the Menu button returns to the previous menu level without changing the value of an option.

6.Continue pressing the Menu button to move back up levels until exiting the Menu system.

Display in Menu Locked Mode

The SHOWGUN display panel gives access to the fixture’s onboard Menu System. When the Menu System is in locked mode, the panel displays in large 8-character format designed to be viewed from a distance. Under normal circumstances, when the display is locked, it cycles between displaying the SHOWGUN logo, the High End Systems logo, the fixture’s software version [V##.##], the fixture’s configuration type [STANDARD] and the fixture’s DMX start channel [DMX_C###]. Any errors present are also displayed in an 8-character error description.

Fixture Software Version

The software version loaded on the fixture can vary even between units purchased at the same time. The latest software version is always posted on the High End Systems website (www.highend.com/support).

DMX Start Channel

The DMX Start Channel is the first channel currently assigned to that fixture in its range of channels on a DMX link. To reset the DMX start channel, see Setting DMX Start Channel on page

18.For more information on DMX Start channels, see Determining DMX Start Channel Assignment on page 18.

Error Message Display

Errors are displayed in large 8-character form when the menu system is locked. Unlocked, the menu system’s 2-line format displays more detailed information. For information on accessing the detailed error message, see Display Errors on page 28.
