FWUPxxx.BIN: specific update (xxx=update number). This file is removed automatically when the update
procedure is completed.
Definitions:
• A show contains a number of frames which are played (projected) in sequence.
• Each frame is drawn by a laser as a series of points. The time between the points determine the
smoothness of the frame. The overall speed is expressed in Kilo points per second (Kpps). When this value
is set too low, the frame will not be completely visible or flickers.
Note: setting the speed at max. (= 20Kpps) all the time puts a lot of stress on the internal moving parts of
the projector.
• The time between to consecutive frames (= the speed of the animation) is set by the frame repeat
parameter. A low (DMX-) value will produce a low animation speed.
Note: running the animations at max. speed all the time puts a lot of stress on the internal moving parts of
the projector.
• When the laser has to draw two non-consecutive points, it will switch off for a brief period of time, the so
called blank shift. A low value will switch off the laser immediately at one point and switch it on again in
the next; increasing the value will delay laser switching.
DMX channels:
• In SD CARD mode, the laser projector becomes a 16-channel DMX device. However, only 9 of these
channels can be controlled, the other ones are defined by the projected animation.
• Use the output of the DMX-controller (not incl.) to control the channels. Refer to CONFIG.DAT below for an
overview of the DMX channels.
SD card controls:
• There are 3 buttons to control the SD card mode:
o
FUNC [A]
Select the parameter to change:
“Adr” = DMX address (1~512)
“Int” = max. colour/laser output intensity (0~99).
“Ort” = orientation of the projection (0~7)
0 normal 4 X and Y swapped
1 X inverted 5 X and Y swapped; X inverted
2 Y inverted 6 X and Y swapped; Y inverted
3 X and Y inverted 7 X and Y swapped, X and Y inverted
o
SEL [B]
Press this button to see the current setting of “Adr”, “Int” or “Ort”.
Press again to edit the setting. The right digit starts blinking and can be changed using the UP button.
Press SEL again to edit the middle digit; press again to edit the left digit. Press FUNC to store and exit.
o
UP [C]
Press this button to increase the value of the blinking digit (0~9).
Note: the LCD will return to normal display after 10s of inactivity
Status LEDs:
• Refer to the table below for the meaning of the status LEDs.
READY
(green)
DMX
(green)
ERROR
(red)
DATA
(yellow)
X no MMC/SD card present
X X no FAT16 file system found
X X X data error while reading card
X X file not found or invalid
X X no DMX signal
X X laser projector ready
Note: X = ON
• Not every error will cause the laser output to stop. This will only be the case when access or read/write
errors on the memory card occur or files are corrupted.
CONFIG.DAT:
• The file CONFIG.DAT contains configuration information for the laser projector. It can be created and
modified by using the software tool EditConfig.exe which is shipped with every laser projector.
• Insert the included SD card in a suitable PC, locate EditConfig.exe and double click it to open the
configuration file:
