Display in Menu Locked Mode
The DL.1 fixture display panel gives access to the onboard menu system. When the
menu system is in locked mode, the panel displays in large 8-character words
designed to be viewed from a distance. Under normal circumstances, when the
display is locked, it cycles between displaying the fixture’s software version
[V##.##], the High End Systems logo, the Catalyst logo, and the fixture’s
configuration type [STANDARD]. Any errors present are also displayed in an 8-
character error description.
Fixture Software Version
The software version loaded on the system can vary even between units purchased at
the same time. “Fixture Software Version” on page 3-3 describes the procedures to
ensure that all Catalyst systems on the link are running the latest software.
System Configuration Type
The configuration type identifies the fixture as either STANDARD or CAMERA (equipped
with Digital Eye Technology). A Standard configuration operates on 12 DMX
channels. A Camera configuration requires 20 DMX channels for control.
DMX Start Channel
The DMX Start Channel is the first channel currently assigned to that fixture in its
range of channels on a DMX link. For more information on DMX Start channels, see
“Setting a DMX Start Channel” on page 3-6.
Error Message Display
Errors are displayed in short 8-character form when the menu system is locked.
Unlocked, menu system’s 2-line format displays more detailed information.
Unlocking the Menu System
To unlock the menu system, press and hold the Menu button until the display
changes to the 2-line format. The menu system is protected against inadvertent menu
changes by requiring the Menu button to be held for a few seconds before allowing
entry to the menus. DMX Address Menu is the first option on the top menu level.
Exiting the Menu System
To exit the menu system, keep pressing the Menu button to back out of each menu
level until the High End Systems logo appears. The word AUTOLOCK will appear
briefly on the display to indicate the fixture’s software is “locking” the display. The
display switches back to the large 8-character format and, after a few seconds, begins
the standard display for the locked mode as described above.
