Display in Menu Locked Mode
The SHOWGUN display panel gives access to the fixture’s onboard Menu System. When the Menu
System is in locked mode, the panel displays in large 8-character format designed to be viewed
from a distance. Under normal circumstances, when the display is locked, it cycles between
displaying the SHOWGUN logo, the High End Systems logo, the fixture’s software version
[V##.##] , the fixture’s configuration type [STANDARD] and the fixture’s DMX start channel
[ DMX_C### ]. Any errors present are also displayed in an 8-character error description.
Fixture Software Version
The software version loaded on the fixture can vary even between units purchased at the same
time. The latest software version is always posted on the High End Systems website
(
www.highend.com/support ).
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. To reset the DMX start channel, see Setting DMX Start Channel on page
22. For more information on DMX Start channels, see Determining DMX Start Channel Assignment
on page 22.
Error Message Display
Errors are displayed in large 8-character form when the menu system is locked. Unlocked, the
menu system’s 2-line format displays more detailed information. For information on accessing the
