Boot-up

panel LED’s are off.

•The controller appears “off” when the Master fixture is first plugged in (

personality

switch eight on), or when the controller is disabled. All LED’s are off. However, at this time the controller is active and monitoring the Enable key, waiting to be booted up.

• When you press the Enable key, you will see the boot-up routine. The Enable LED illuminates, the Standby LED flashes, and the Seven Segment Display (SSD) LED’s show three horizontal bars.

• During this time, the controller is initializing the Master fixture. When the Master fixture has homed, it will cause all Slave fixtures to home.

• After homing, the Enable, Standby, and Program LED’s remain illuminated, while the Rate LED flashes, and the Seven Segment Display LED’s show 01. This indicates that the controller is enabled and in the standby mode.

• The flashing Rate LED signals that the controller will use time as a trigger for the next page of the selected program.

• The default values at start-up are; Program one, Rate at level three and active, and Audio at level three and inact ive.

You may check this by pushing the associated keys.

Note:

Section II: LED Indicators and Associated Keys

Eight of the eleven Keys on the Special Analog Controller have an associated LED. When the LED remains illuminated, that function has been selected and becomes activated.

modes may be selected by using the Arrow keys. Program modes A1 to A8 will

cause program advance at various time intervals. A1 is the slowest, with changes at approximately one minute intervals. A8 is the fastest, with changes

at approximately six second intervals.

You cannot change the lamp intensity.

You can change the lamp intensity by using the Arrow keys. Sixteen levels are

available to the user, with level sixteen being full on, and level 1 being full off.

The levels will wrap from sixteen to one, or one to sixteen, by pushing the “up”

Arrow key or “down” Arrow key. This allows toggling the lamp off and on; or, the the intensity may be varied smoothly by stepping down/up between sixteen and one. You may deselect Intensity by pushing the Program key, or by letting the controller do it on its own (after you discontinue to interact with the controller).

Pushing the Rate key while the Rate LED is solidly illuminated, or, pushing

the flashing Rate LED key twice, will disable rate triggering. When the LED is off, you cannot change the value of rate triggering, or use Rate as a page step

You can change the value of rate triggering by using the Arrow keys. Five levels

A display of “off” on the Seven Segment Display indicates that rate triggering is off.

If the Rate/Audio LED is solidly illuminated, and the Rate/Audio key is pushed again, the current value is stored, Rate/Audio page step triggering is disabled, and the Program selection mode is restored. Pushing the Rate/Audio key again will restore the stored value. This allows the user to jump in and out of various triggering modes without having to push the “up” and “down” Arrow keys. To return to Program mode without disabling Rate/Audio triggering, simply push the Program key.

Section III: Non-Illuminated Keys

The Special Analog Controller also has three non-illuminating keys; “up” Arrow , “down” Arro w, and Bump. Use these keys to change the values of function keys such as, Program, Intensity, Rate, and Audio triggering. For example, you may affect the program selection by pushing the associated key (Program) to illuminate its LED. Then you may push the “up” or “down” Arrow key to change programs.

Section V: Supplemental Features

Three supplement al features are in cluded in each Special Analog Controller; EPROM version test , special rate mode, and special audio mode. You may use the EPROM version test to identify the Special Analog firmware version.

There are six Special Rate modes and four Special Audio modes included in the current version (1.0) of the firmware. Since control of the asynchronous in the truest since of the word, the effect of these modes is dependent on the particular program being viewed. Following is a description of the three features.

EPROM

The version number of the EPROM for the Controller may be seen by holding down the Enable key while the fixture is homing. When the controller comes out of the homing delay, the Seven Segment Display (SSD) will hold the EPROM version number. Also at this time, all LED’s will light in a lamp test. Normal operation will resume when you release the Enable key.

Special Modes

You can recognize the special modes by the horizontal bars in the left digit of the

single bar at the bottom indicates the stepping starts at 1 and proceeds upward in single steps. A single bar at the top indicates the stepping starts at 5 and proceeds downward in single steps. A single bar in the middle indicates the middle modes (2, 3, 4) are stepped singly. A top and bottom bar indicate a random choice between 1 and 5. A bottom and middle bar indicates stepping starts at 1 and proceeds in steps of two (1, 3, 5). A top and middle bar indicates stepping starts at 5 and proceeds downward in steps of two (5, 3, 1).
