Brother, Brother & Sons Area48soft Software ver. 2.0.05 - Manual (Page 6)

Version 2.0.05
Changes from previous version :
Software Changes:
- Indicators for Mode settings.
The indicators now follow the same order as the menu
Indicator 1: Resolution - On: 8 bit / Off: 16 bit
Indicator 2: Response - On: Fast / Off: Slow
Indicator 3: Curve - On: Linear / Off: Square
Indicator 4: Strobe - On: Strobe ON / Off: Strobe OFF
The indicators now show if changes have been made to default settings.
- Button response has been adjusted in an attempt to minimize “doubleclicking”
- LED eeprom removed as an item from the menu.
- Show version
The unit no longer shows software version at start up.
To show software version: Hold the DOWN button when switching the unit on.
New Functions:
-
Reset - When switching on the unit while holding MENU button in the unit will reset.
- DMX/Manual modes
When switching on unit without DMX signal present the unit goes to manual mode.
If DMX is present the unit will automatically go to DMX mode.
- On/Off switch
When switching on the unit without DMX signal present (manual mode),
the ENTER button functions as an On/Off switch
(Unless DMX signal is added or if noDMX is set to manual)
- Manual level saving:
The Area48 now autosaves the manually set value after 10 seconds
- Added warning if supply voltage is out of range, for advanced troubleshooting.
- Battery lockup:
We have made the following function to avoid the situation where the unit is set to 100 %
and you cannot change it because the battery switches off before you can set it to a lower %
-
Disconnect the battery, reconnect the battery and within the first 5 seconds press and hold ENTER
until the display reads: MAN 00
Now you can use the up and down buttons to select a level your batteries can handle.
- Power On Count added to menu to count number of times unit have been turned on.
- Internal serial number a 22 digit serial number used as a service number
Bugs:
- Strobe-Intensity Bug 1(and 2) fixed:
When switching the intensity off during strobe, the intensity would hang at either on or off
depending on the strobe.
This also caused the intensity not to respond to fade down and then up, while strobing.
Further more the intensity had no effect when strobing. All Fixed.
- Timer instability: Updated timer for Fixture On Count and Led On Count to avoid instability.
- Temp Bug: When temp sensor registered very low temperatures, these were registered as very high.
Temp warning when minus temperature is fixed, so it only shows the temperature.
