MSpeed Motor Speed, Fixture Operations, 180

CHAPTER 14

Fixture Motion Functions

MSpeed (Motor Speed)

The MSpeed parameter adjusts the time required for a motor to complete movement when changing from one position to another. MSpeed provides a method for all motors to reach their target position at the same time, even though each motor may have different distances to travel. MSpeed movement is extremely smooth because the fixture controls movements independent of DMX refresh rates.

MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. In general, allowing the console to crossfade the pan and tilt values for the DL2 fixture is acceptable. However, extremely slow movements may require the use of Mspeed instead of console crossfades. For a listing of exact MSpeed times, see “Appendix B: MSpeed Conversion Table”.

Control Function Options

The Control parameter remotely initiates various fixture operations and allows access to the internal-projector menu controls.
