MSpeed (Motor Speed)
The MSpeed parameter adjusts the time required for a motor to complete movement when
changing from one position to another. MSpeed provides a method 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. In general, allowing the console to
crossfade the pan and tilt values for the DL2 fixture is acceptable. However, extremely slow
movements may require the use of Mspeed instead of console crossfades. For a listing of exact
MSpeed times, see “Appendix B: MSpeed Conversion Table”.
Control Function Options
The Control parameter remotely initiates various fixture operations and allows access to the
internal-projector menu controls.
Fixture Operations
Note: All of the following Fixture operation Control parameter settings (except
for MSpeed Off), require the Dimmer be closed (DMX Value = 0).
