- Pan and tilt bump response for small movements improved in DMX tracking mode.
- Lamp check implemented. If the lamp explodes, lamp feedback disappears and pan/tilt are disabled to prevent hot glass fragments from being flung from the fixture.
- Maximum pan/tilt speed in FAST mode reduced to eliminate step-loss due to the heavier achromatic lenses.
- Lamp strike delay implemented. Necessary when using the electronic ballast version. If the lamp has been switched off, the lamp can not be struck again for an 8 minute period. If a lamp-on command is received, the fixture will store the command, display a "HOT" message and then automatically strike the lamp when the 8 minutes are up.
- Bug fix: Bump from fixed color values (145 - 184) to color scroll values (0 - 144) in DMX tracking mode could cause slow movement on both color wheels.
- Bug fix: The fixed-gobo wheel would sometimes be offset after resetting. The offset would, though, be corrected while operating by the on-the-fly position correction system.
- Bug fix: The DMX signal on a random channel could be misinterpreted for a fraction of a second, resulting in unpredictable behavior for a brief instant, after which normal control returned. This was most noticeable when it affected the shutter, as it reacts the fastest. The problem occurred at an interval of several minutes and only with certain DMX desks, for example, the Compulite Animator.
- Boot-sector bug fixed: If a software upload was interrupted at 1 specific point in the process by turning off the fixture, it could not be set to upload mode again and a hard boot was necessary. To install the new boot sector, the jumper on the motherboard at PL121 must be moved to the INIT position. (Remember to put the jumper back in the normal setting after uploading.)
All new features except the last one are implemented with a normal upload. As the chance of a problem is so small, we recommend installing the update using the normal method. The update can be reinstalled if desired using the hard boot procedure whenever convenient.
