Working Area

Operators often have to limit a fixture's scanning area to adapt stored programs to stage

situations, which often change.

With a view to this, Pilot 2000 allows to control the 20 different scanning areas for each

fixture (obviously only scanners and moving head units) which operators have at their

disposal.

Reducing the scanning area of a fixture also considerably improves the precision of

moving parts, whether they're mirrors or heads. In fact, reducing the scanning area doesn't

reduce the number of steps for positioning, which remains unchanged (255 for 8-bit

fixtures and 65.536 for 16-bit fixtures). If the fixtures being controlled don't have

commands for automatic inversion of scanning co-ordinates, the scanning areas allow to

solve the problem by simply crossing over the corner values.

To set or modify the Working Area

1. Press the Setup button.

2. Scroll with the up/down arrows until “Working Area” appears on the display.

3. Press the right-hand Scroll button.

4. The led Unit lights up to shows that a unit, whose working area has to be modified,

must be selected
