(0%/0/00h). One more press and it will then change to
‘n/a’.
8) Save your changes: Hitting the ,
or ‘0’ key on your keyboard will exit this mode and write
the changes to the SER-DMX’s EEprom. These new values
will also now appear on the upper part of the screen on
the line next to the arrow.
If you have outputs that you don’t want to swing full scale
before they are adjusted, set both the minimum and maximum
scales to 50%/128/80h before applying power to the
ServoMotors. This will force them to the 50% of stroke position
before they can do any damage.
q) Force Output to a Value: This command is used to force an output
to any value. This value can be written into EEprom so that the out-
put will never leave this value, even after the card is reset. It can be
used to 'lock down' a movement that has malfunctioned or needs to
be positioned for servicing or adjustment. Any outputs which have
been forced will be displayed in the 'Forced Output' column on the
display.
Only the on-board servo output outputs can be forced. A new
output address will be requested if the currently selected 'Output to
Test & Adjust' is not one of the on-board ones.
t) Set PowerOn Defaults: This command allows you to set the value
that will be output on any one of the 256 possible output addresses.
This value will be sent out when the SER-DMX is first powered up. This
command gives you the option of:
a) Capturing the current value as the default value for the cur-
rently selected output.
b) Capturing the current values as the default value for all out-
puts.
c) Entering a value as the default value for the currently selected
output.
The PowerOn value for all outputs is displayed in the 'PowerOn
Default' column on the display.
z) Turn Off Servos On Zeros: This command has three possible settings:
a) Off: This feature is not used
b) Any=0: Commanding any servo to the zero position will
stop all pulses being sent to it. For most ServoMotors, this will
turn off their motors. Turning off the ServoMotors when they are
