Before the system begins its normal operating mode, it will toggle through all of the internal
actuators. Listening for gaps in the sequence can help determine if all actuators are
functioning correctly.
At startup, two different modes of operation are possible. Normal DMX and/or sound
activated mode, or the non-DMX, non-sound activated time based chase mode. The latter
mode will be described later.

Enter = Exit
Q-Beam will enter this mode with no apertures selected. At this time, open the alignment
port on the side of Q-Beam. Green laser light should be emitted from this opening when no
apertures are selected. If there is no light, see the section on alignment and insure the
remote interlock shorting plug is installed. Replace the alignment port plug. Pressing Up
will open the first aperture. Continue to press Up and Down to check the remaining
apertures. This mode is useful for aligning the beam apertures when DMX-512 isn’t
convenient or available. Press Enter when finished. Q-Beam will restart.
