4 MAC Viper Profile User Guide
Introduction
This User Guide is a supplement to the Installation and Safety Manual that is supplied with the MAC Viper
Profile. Both documents are available for download from the Martin™ website at www.martin.com. The User
Guide contains information that is mainly of interest for lighting designers and operators in general, whereas
the Safety and Installation Manual contains important information for all users, especially installers and
technicians.
Please check the latest version of the Installation and Safety Manual, paying particular attention to the
Safety Precautions section.
We recommend that you check the Martin™ website regularly for updated documentation. A revised version
of this User Guide will become available each time a new firmware version is released that contains
changes or new features. Each time this guide is revised, any important changes will be listed on page 2 so
that you can keep track of updates.
This is revision C1 of the MAC Viper Profile User Guide, and is the first version released. An updated
version of this guide with more detailed information on calibration procedures, RDM and error messages in
the fixture’s display is due to be released on the Martin website August 2012. For users in July 2012, the
MAC Viper Profile is capable of returning information about the RDM commands it supports to an RDM
controller, and the full-text error messages in the display give a good indication of the type of error, if an
error should occur.
