Crossloading Fixture Software (XLD)

If you have a Technobeam-i fixture with a newer software version, you can crossload the newer software to all other Technobeam-i fixtures on the link.

To crossload software:

1.Disconnect or bypass any controllers, serial data distributors, data line

optoisolators, and any fixtures using RS-422 communications (such as Dataflash® AF1000 xenon strobes, Intellabeam® fixtures, and Emulator® laser simulators). These devices will block communication between your crossloading fixture and any other Technobeam-i fixtures on the link.

2. On the crossloading fixture only, press and hold the <Menu> button until “ADDR” appears on the LED display.

3. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “MODE” menu and press the <Enter> button to select the “MODE” menu.

4. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “XLD” option and press the <Enter> button to select the “XLD” option.* The fixture will upload its software to all other Technobeam-i fixtures on the link.

*Note	This option has a 5-second delay to avoid inadvertent
	changes. To crossload fixture software, you must press
	and hold the <Enter> button for at least 5 seconds.

The Transmit LED on the crossloading fixture will remain on (or flicker). The Transmit and Receive LEDs on receiving fixtures will flicker while the crossload is in progress, and “UPLD” will appear on the alphanumeric display as each fixture receives the software upload. When the crossload has finished successfully, “DONE” will appear briefly in the LED display of the crossloading fixture, and all other fixtures will home.

Note	If a new boot code was included with the latest software,
	the LED will display a “BOOT DIFF” error. To correct the
	boot code, you must copy the new boot code for each
	fixture (see “Copying the Boot Code (BOOT)” on page
	3-21).
