2.6 LABELING YOUR MAXIM
Areas are provided below the faders for you to
write identifying labels. To prevent permanent
marking of your maXim, LSC recommends that
you place strips of “write on” tape in these areas.
2.7 TERMINOLOGY
Certain button stroke terminology is used
throughout this manual to describe the particular
operations being undertaken.
Any text enclosed in these symbols [ ], refers to
when that particular button needs to be pressed.
For example; Press [record scene], means to
press the record scene button.
Flash/assign buttons are often abbreviated to [f/a].
If the button to be pressed is a Flash/Assign
button (of which there are many) then it will be
identified by naming it as follows;
[f/a] (Name).
Any information that appears on the LED display
is printed in “quotes”.
See also the “TERMINOLOGY” section for
definitions of the terms used in this manual.
2.8 SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
Some f/a buttons have secondary functions that
are activated by holding down the [function]
button and tapping an [f/a] button. These
secondary functions are printed on the front panel
below their f/a buttons.
Some flash buttons have hidden secondary
functions
that are activated by holding down the
[function] button and tapping the [ok] button.
These secondary functions are not labelled but
are described in “Diagnostics” in the “UTILITIES”
section.
The buttons below the EDIT wheel have
secondary functions
in that they are used to
answer either “Yes”, “No” or “OK” to questions
that appear on the display when you are
performing certain actions. They are typically used
to confirm or abort the action that you have
selected.
2.9 SOFTWARE
LSC has a policy of continuous improvement of its
products. As the maXim is a computerised
lighting desk, its software is subject to this policy
as new features are added and existing features
improved.
The software version of your maXim is
momentarily displayed on the LED display when
the maXim is switched on.
The latest version can be downloaded from the
maXim
forum.
