CHAPTER 3
Operation and Maintenance
Test Options Menu
The TEST OPTIONS MENU manually homes the fixture, performs fixture self tests, and stores new boot code information. Performing fixture self tests may help identify mechanical problems in the fixture.
Copying the Boot Code
When new software is uploaded to a Orbital Head System, it may contain a new boot code which must be copied to each fixture. This is apparent if the fixture displays a BOOTDIFF error.
Caution: Do not remove power from the fixture while performing a boot copy.
To accept and store the new boot code:
1.Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system to the top level menus.
2.Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll to the TEST OPTIONS MENU and press the Enter button to select.
3.Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll to the COPY BOOT option and press the Enter button to select.
4.Use the up and down arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to the YES option and then press the Enter button to store the command. The fixture will store the new boot code, then automatically home.
Homing the Fixture
The Orbital Head System automatically homes all its functions whenever it is turned on. This menu option manually homes the entire fixture.
To remotely home the fixture using a DMX controller, see Roadster Orbital Head Positioning on page 31 and Control Function on page 33.
To manually home the fixture:
1.Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system to the top level menus.
2.Use the left and right arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to the TEST OPTIONS MENU and press the Enter button to select.
3.Use the left and right arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to HOME FIXTURE.
