System Configuration Window
When in a VARI❋LITE comm environment, the System
Configuration (Config) window is a representation of your physical
system of consoles, NIF units, VARI❋LITE Series 300 luminaires,
and interface devices (i.e. UDM™ unit, SPC-36™ interface). The window is
associated with a specific show file so that you can keep track of system information
based on each show. To open the System Configuration window, select System
Config at the Setup menu.
The window displays and keeps track of the following information:
• Device Icon. An icon which represents the specific device type is displayed in
relation to its position in the system. In stored configurations, the icon may appear
“grayed out” if the device is not online to indicate a problem. Double-click the
device to bring up the Device Info window which shows messages for that device
(also see “Error Log” on page 298).
• Channel/Thumbwheel Address. Channel assignment or thumbwheel address
(depending on setting) is displayed for each device. This number will change from
black to green as the device comes online. If the device is reporting any errors, the
number will be displayed in red.
