BEST BOY 4000 ® SPOT LUMINAIRE FIELD SERVICE MANUAL 15
Group Tests
The Group Test menu allows multiple Best Boy 4000 Luminaires to be run through a configurable test sequence when
chained together via DMX512 or Ethernet. (Refer to the Best Boy User Manual for more information about daisy-
chaining.)
To perform a group test:
Step 1. At Group Test screen, select options to run: Pan/Tilt, Intensity, Colors, Gobos, Zoom, and/or Framing.
Step 2. Select test option: Concurrently (all selected tests are run at once) or Sequentially (tests are run one at a
time as each one finishes).
Step 3. Press START to begin testing. All luminaires connected to the main fixture (now referred to as the "Master")
will become "Slaves" and follow the test routine set on the Master in an endless loop.
Step 4. To stop the test sequence, press STOP on the Master.
While in group test, a Master can manually change certain values by using the Manual Control screen. From here, you
can adjust the levels of parameters not active in the test sequence. For example, if a test were running on gobos and
colors, you can adjust the pan and tilt to point the Master and all Slaves to a position where it will be easier see the
output of the fixtures.
Slave fixtures will display "SLAVE"
in the Group Tests screen as shown.
