9.0 UTILITIES
9.1 RESET
SOFT RESET
Performing a reset will ERASE all the recorded memory from the MINIM . All Scenes and Chases
are erased. If your memories are required, save them to the optional External Memory Module (see
below). This is known as a “SOFT RESET”.
To perform a SOFT RESET,
Ensure the MINIM is in MEMORY RUN mode.
Press and hold
[function]
and
[F/A]
(reset) for 5 seconds.
At the completion of the reset the F/A button stops flashing.
LSC also suggests that a SOFT RESET is performed each time you start a new show, as it is a
quick way to ensure that ALL memories are deleted and ensures that the console is set to the
default operating state.
HARD RESET
In the unlikely event that the MINIM fails to respond to your button strokes or fader movements, the
operating system may be reset so that the software may initialise and recommence normal
operation. This is known as a “HARD RESET”.
To perform a HARD RESET,
Turn the Power Switch off.
Press and hold [function] and [F/A] (reset) whilst turning on the console. This operation
will require two hands to prevent any accidental activation.
9.2 EXTERNAL MEMORY MODULE
Memories created and stored in the MINIM, can be externally saved and then reloaded from an
external Memory Module. Each Memory Module can hold up to a maximum of four complete
shows. This module is optional and is available for purchase from LSC or your nearest distributor.
When you save or load a show from the Memory Module, you copy the entire contents of the
MINIM’s memory – including all Scenes and Chases.
SAVE SHOW TO MEMORY MODULE
To save a show, plug-in the Memory Module to the MINIMs “COMMS PORT”. If a Memory Module
is not plugged in, then the MINIM will detect this and not flash the
[F/A]
(save) LED.
\
Ensure the MINIM is in MEMORY RUN mode
Press and hold
[function]
then press and hold
[F/A]
(save) at the same time, for a period of 5
seconds, then release both.
The first four LEDs on the Red Bank will flash twice to indicate possible show number choices. If
previous shows have already been loaded into the Memory Module, the Red Bank LEDs will be lit
to indicate show numbers already allocated. It is possible to write over an existing show at this
stage, so it is recommended to use a free location if you are unsure what is presently loaded.
Press [F/A] (show number) to save the show.
Saving a show takes a few moments. A progress meter is displayed on the Edit Value Scale LEDs.
During this time normal operation of the MINIM is not possible.
