Virtuoso Mode

When the Node Plus is connected to a Virtuoso series console, the menu system will provide "Virtuoso" screens
which can be used to set up and monitor the Virtuoso system.

Note: The PRG Node Plus unit can only be used with Virtuoso consoles running software version 5.6 or greater.

Virtuoso Node Screen

The Virtuoso Node screen displays the thumbwheel address and mapped
DMX512 universes (as patched from the console). In the sample image at
the right, this unit has been set to thumbwheel 001, and Virtuoso
universes A-D have been patched to outputs 000 through 003 of this
Node.

To edit the thumbwheel address, press the joystick. The first digit will be
highlighted. Use up/down to change the digit, left/right to move to
another digit, and press down to save and exit.

Network Stats

The Network Stats screen displays transmit and receive statistics since
power-up.

This screen is not editable.

TX #: successful transmits

fail: transmit failures

T/O: transmit time-outs

HwEr: transmit hardware errors

Mem: transmit memory errors

Apn: transmit buffer errors

RX #: successful receives

HwEr: receive hardware errors

Information

The Information screen displays software version date/time, verification of
valid Boot module, and programmed Network ID.

This screen is not editable.

DMX Monitor

The DMX Monitor screen displays the data for each active universe.

Press the joystick to cycle through all six ports. This screen is not
editable.

Series 400

The Series 400 screen is an obsolete menu item and should no longer be
used for Series 400 (Art-Net) setup. The new "Series 400 Setup" screen is
available when the Node has been loaded with Series 400 software, and
should be used to setup the Art-Net system as detailed in

"Art-Net (Series

400) Mode"

on page 18.
