CHAPTER THIRTEEN

13. Other features

This chapter contains:Setting the Pearl’s clock & other utility functions;

using MIDI commands with the Pearl; Service mode; hardware

WIPEALL mode.

13.1 System Configuration

13.1.1 Utility menu

The Utility menu is accessed by turning the key to System, then

pressing G [Utilities].

A [Set clock] - The Pearl has a built-in real time clock. It uses this to

record snapshot times and disk backups, so it’s important to have

the correct time and date set on it.

To set the clock you need to be in System mode, and you need to

have a VDU screen connected.

Press A [Set Clock]. The Pearl displays a window on the VDU

screen in which you can enter the time, date and daylight saving

modes (if the clocks get put forward an hour in summer). Press

Exit to abandon or Enter to save.

C [Configure a MIDI keyboard] - Lets you change which MIDI note

turns on each memory. Send the MIDI note for memory 1, then

the note for memory 2, and so on. A prompt is displayed on the

VDU screen which tells you what the Pearl is expecting you to do.

Press Exit to end.

E [Load shape file] - Allows you to load a new shape definition file

SG.DAT. You may need to do this if Avolites issue an updated

shape file.

F [Clear Wrap around channels] - If you load a show saved with an

earlier version of software, you might get a problem with

channels which wrap around from 255 to 0. Running this option

will sort them out.

G [Update personality] - Allows you to load an updated version of

the personality file for the fixtures you currently have patched.

This is useful if Avolites release an updated version of the

personality, for example adding Range Tables. The softkeys

display a list of the fixtures you have patched.

13.1.2 USB Stick Options

The Pearl is supplied with an internal USB drive (named AVOCACH by

default), and a socket for connecting an external USB memory stick.

These USB drives allow you to save multiple copies of your shows (see

section

12.2.2 for disk functions) and also allows you store a much

larger number of personality files directly on the console than was

previously possible.

The ‘USB Stick Options’ menu, which is accessed from the System

menu, has a number of housekeeping utilities. You can take backups of

1 2 ... 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 ... 205 206
