PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

This section describes the features for saving and deleting the contents of the control- ler’s memory. There is also an Upload/Download Utility available from the Martin web site. This is a free Windows utility for managing lighting programs created with the 2518 DMX Controller.

To use the Upload/Download Utility, a straight-through RS-232 cable must be con- nected between the computer’s serial port and the controller’s RS-232 I/O port. Dis- connect both devices from AC power before connecting the RS-232 cable. Please refer to the online documentation for additional details.

PLAYBACK MODE

Locking a program in memory turns the 2518 DMX Controller into an easy-to-use playback controller with manual override. Note, however, that setting tandem mode unlocks the memory and allows the editing and/or deletion of the programming.

TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE MEMORY

1.Turn off the controller. In tandem mode, turn off the top controller.

2.Press and hold the fourth and sixth channel buttons while turning on the controller. Hold until “LO” is displayed.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to unlock the memory. “OF” is displayed when the memory is unlocked.
