O PERATION : DMX OPERATION302.9 678.00 19 0 31-July-2004 19Control Channel FunctionsControl channel functions allow special actions such as reset, lamp on/off and partial recalibration.These must be executed with zero time transition or with timing disabled. Discrete values must beused; not manual controls such as faders or encoders (see chart below for values).Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.Lamp On or Lamp Off - switches lamp on or off.Partial Recalibration - resets only the target mechanism (color, gobo, zoom, etc.) wit out affectingothers.Pan/Tilt Fast Mode- reduces the reaction time to pan and tilt movement commands in the luminaire.Pan/Tilt Normal Mode - processes luminaire pan and tilt commands at normal ate.Note: When utilizing the control channel functionality for the Pan Tilt F st and Pan/Tilt NormalMode functions, the mode setting will change immediately follo ing the input of DMX 40-45 (Pan/Tilt Fast Mode) and DMX 50-55 (Pan/Tilt Normal Mode). No ot er values or actions within thecontrol channel will change the Mode setting. The action of th Mode is based on the last commandexecuted. Mode will not change until another DMX value f 40-45 or 50-55 is entered into the controlchannel. Resetting the luminaire or cycling the pow r wi l not affect the Mode setting. The controlchannel value will remain visible in all the cues unles another value is inputted. We recommend thatthe control channel number not be changed to 0 so hat the current Mode setting can be viewed in thecue data without having to know the last v l e entered. This will prevent inconsistencies whenchanging or substituting other luminaires hat may have a different Mode setting.T ble 3-2: Control Channel FunctionsCo trolChan elFunctionControl Channel Value% ValueDMX ValueFor 3 Secsor GreaterAfter3 SecsPan/Tilt Fast 16-18 40-45 N/APan/Tilt Normal 20-22 50-55 N/ALuminaire Reset 32-33 81-87 0Lamp Off 65-67 165-171 0Lamp On 98-100 249-255 0Partial Recalibration of:- Color 40 100-104 0- Gobos 45 112-116 0- Edge/Zoom/Shutter 50 126-130 0- Dimmer/Strobe 55 138-142 0www.carlosmendoza.com.mx
