Pearl 2004 Manual v1 - 27th August 2004
12.1.2 Setting the Wheel acceleration
The control wheels allow you to set 16-bit control values to the fixtures,
and have an acceleration function so you don’t have to spin the wheel
for hours if you need to make large changes to the fixtures.
Hold down the AVO button and press the 2 button to set the different
wheel acceleration curves. The current curve is shown on the main part
of the screen. “Linear Fast” has the fastest response and “Linear Slow”
the slowest and most accurate.
12.2 User functions
12.2.1 The Wipe menu
This menu is obtained by turning the key to System mode and then
pressing A [Service]. Softkey F [Wipe] then selects the Wipe menu.
You can selectively wipe various parts of the console, or you can wipe
the whole thing. Press softkeys B, C and D to turn the wipe options on
and off. The option is highlighted when that wipe option is turned on.
The options are:
A [Cancel] - quits Wipe mode
B [Patch] - Sets the Patching to be wiped. The programming and
individual Palettes will also be wiped (as they would mean nothing
without the patch), however shared palettes (see page 135) will
remain.
C [Palettes]- Sets the Palettes (including shared palettes) to be wiped.
D [Programming] - Sets the memories, chases and theatre stack to
be erased. The Patch and palettes (shared and individual) will remain.

factory default state. The settings of the B, C and D options are
ignored.
G [OK] - Will wipe the memory as set by options B, C and D.

load it or Exit to cancel.

disk. Type a name for the show, then press Enter. The Pearl will
ask if you want to make the show compatible with Sep 2000
