Display in Menu Locked Mode

The Power Hub display panel gives access to the onboard Menu System. When the Menu System is in locked mode, the panel displays in large 8-character words designed to be viewed from a distance. Under normal circumstances, when the display is locked, it cycles between displaying the fixture’s software version [V##.##], the High End Systems logo, the Catalyst logo, the fixture’s configuration type [ROADSTER] 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 system can vary even between units purchased at the same time. Verifying/Uploading Catalyst Software on page 15 describes the procedures to ensure that all Roadster Orbital Head systems on the link are running the latest software.

System Configuration Type

The configuration type indicates the system’s modular setup.

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. For more information on DMX start channels, see Setting a DMX Start Channel on page 15.

Error Message Display

Errors are displayed in short 8-character form when the menu system is locked. Unlocked, menu system’s 2-line format displays more detailed information.
