MSpeed (Motor Speed)
The MSpeed parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 12. MSpeed is the time
required for a motor to complete movement when changing from one position to
another. MSpeed provides a means for all motors to reach their target position at the
same time, even though each motor may have different distances to travel. MSpeed
movement is extremely smooth because the fixture controls movements independent
of DMX refresh rates.
MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. However, when MSpeed is
applied to a parameter, the delay value (length of time allowed for the entire scene)
needs to be longer than the MSpeed value to allow the motors to complete their
movement before the end of the scene. An MSpeed value that is longer than the delay
value could produce an undesirable result; for example, no light output during the
scene. For a listing of exact MSpeed times, see "Appendix B: MSpeed Conversion
Table" .
By default, MSpeed is applied to Pan and Tilt positioning. Disable MSpeed for pan
and tilt with the Control parameter , see Table 4-4 on page 4-10 and "Appendix A:
DMX Protocol" . MSpeed times can also be applied to the following parameters:
•
Color Function
•
Gobo 2 Function
•
Gobo 1 Function
•
Effects Function
Macro
Channel 13 controls the Macro parameter. Internal Effects™ macros are factory-
programmed sequences which allow complicated looks in one scene. Each Internal
Effects™ macro modifies a specific set of parameters, while allowing user control of
all other parameters in the scene. The four Internal Effects macros available on a
standard configuration x.SpotXtreme fixture are Pan Sweep, Tilt Sweep, Clockwise
Circle and Counterclockwise Circle.
The value set in the macro channel determines the size of each of the movements.
The MSpeed channel determines the speed. With the MSpeed set between DMX 5-
255 all internal effects complete movement at the selected MSpeed time (up to 25
seconds). An MSpeed DMX value less than 4 uses the default time of 2.5 seconds to
provide a pleasing look when the additional variation given by using the MSpeed
channel is not required.
