Mechanical Tests
The Mechanical Tests menu provides a method for exercising all
luminaire mechanisms individually. Each mechanism has a similar Test
screen. Cyan is shown in the example to the right.
The following test functions are available:
+ Test Chase - The mechanism will move back and forth between
two positions. The START/STOP button starts and stops the
motion, and the SPEED button sets the rate of the motion. For
mechanisms with sensors, one of the positions will be on the
sensor and the other position will be off.
+ Manual Control - The slider on the right side of the screen moves
the mechanism through its range of travel, manually. Tapping the
arrows will move the mechanism in half panel increments.
+ Feedback -The current status of the mechanisms encoder
(POSITION) and sensor (SENSOR) are shown (if available for that
mechanism). STATUS indicates whether the mechanism is in an
error state or normal operating state.
+ Utility Functions - Press Recal to recalibrate the mechanism or
Disable to turn off the motor control to allow the mechanism to
move freely.
+ Configuration Information - HOME OFFSET indicates whether
the home position* has been adjusted to fine tune sensor positions
(applies to gobo wheel only; refer to Control Channel settings in
the Best Boy User Manual).
* Due to small variations in sensor and sensor board positions, the open
position on a gobo wheel might not be precisely aligned with the optical
axis, creating a slight blockage on one side of the open beam. Adjust
the wheel position via DMX to get the proper alignment and send the
HOME OFFSET command to store the current position as the new
"home" position. This position is stored in persistent memory and will
be used going forward as the home position.
