bALA. --- Balance.Select this function to enable (On) or disable (OFF) the white balance which is set in "White
colour balance" menu below.If this function is set OFF,ArcPower 16x6 will use maximum value (255) of satura-
tion for red, green and blue channels.
CALi. --- LED intensity calibration.The menu allows you to adjust the max. light intensity of individual LEDs
(colour channels),e.g. the light intensity of all red LEDs connected to the channel 4.This action is suitable in case
that adjacent LEDs (e.g. in LED array) have a different light intensity (but these LEDs have to be connected to
the different zones of the ArcPower 16x6).
Use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select desired LED,press [ENTER] and adjust suitable light intensity (0-255)
using [UP] and [Down] buttons,conrm by pressing [ENTER].This adjusted light intensity is its maximum intensity
which can be reached if dimmer=255 DMX. After calibration all LEDs, select Stor. to save adjusted values.
COMP.- Internal calibration.The function eliminates random light ashes during slow dimming.The
calibration action lasts cca one minute.
The COMP function should be performed:
- once after connecting all LEDs to the xture (after complete installation)
- if the load has been changed (e.g 6-LEDs modules have been replaced by 3-LEDs)
- after software upgrade or changing dimmer characteristic (SPEC--->CHAr)
C.bAL. --- White colour balance. Using this menu you can set white balance:
1. Set all red,green and blue channels on maximum saturation(255)
2. Browse through the menu by pressing the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons until the display shows "C.bAL."
menu.Press [ENTER] button and "rEd.b." will appear on the display.
3.Press [ENTER] button again and use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to adjust the new maximum value required
for the red channel.Conrm your choice by pressing [ENTER].Use the [UP] and [Down] buttons to select next
colour.

CHAr. --- Dimmer characteristic. The option allows selection from the 2 dimming curves:
EYE - The dimming curve takes into account a gamma curve
LinE - Linear running of the dimming curve.
Use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select desired dimmer characteristic and press [ENTER] to conrm.
dM.Pr. --- DMX presetting.The function allows to select desired DMX mode.Use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons
to select desired channel mode (“Mod.1,Mod.2”) and press [ENTER] to conrm.For detail description of all
channels see DMX protocol.
i.bLi. --- Initial blink.If this function is on,ArcPower 16x6 makes auto-calibration (All LEDs lit on 100% for short
time) after switching the ArcPower 16x6 on.If this function is set off,you have to set manually every colour
channel on max.brightness after switching the driver on before starting regular operating.This action should
last min. one second for each colour.During this action the ArcPower 16x6 nds out the load connected to its
LED outputs and makes auto-calibration.
dF.SE. --- Default Settings .Select this option to reset all xture personalities to the default values.
uPd. --- Software update - Using this function you can update software in the xture via PC and serial link.
The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP or Linux
- DMX Software Uploader
- Flash cable RS232/DMX (No.13050624)
Note1:Software update should execute a qualied person.If you lack qualication, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ANOLIS distributor.
Note 2:DMX address,programs and all settings will be set to their default values.
To update software in the xture:
1.Installation of DMX Software Uploader:
1.DMX Software Uploader program is available from the ANOLIS web site at WWW.anolis.cz.
2.Make a new directory ( e.g. ANOLIS_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.
3.Unpack the program from the archives. Program le has name:DSU_name of corresponding
xture_SoftwareID.SoftwareID describes the versions of xture software included in DMX Software
Uploader. Higher number means later software versions.
2.Fixture software updating:
1.Determine which of your COM port is available on your PC and connect it with to the DMX input
of the xture using the Flash cable. Do not extend this cable! Disconnect the xture from the
other xtures in DMX chain! Turn on the computer and the xture.
2.Switch the xture to the update mode by selecting the option Software update in menu Special
Functions on the xture control panel:SPEC-->UPd-->yES.(From this option you cannot return
back to the main menu. If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off
and on the xture to leave this option!)
3.It is recommended that you exit all programs before running the Software Uploader.
4.Start the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click Connect button.
If the conection is OK, click Start Uploading button to start uploading. It will take several minutes to
perform software update.All processors will be updated (including processors with the same
software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, enable the Incremental Update check box.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the list window.
When the update is nished, the line with the text “The xture is successfuly updated‘ will appear
in this window and the xture will reset with the new software.
Note: In the case of interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the xture remains in the update mode
and you have to repeat the software update again.
For example: The xture was switched off before nishing software upload. After switching the xture on again,
the xture is still in the update mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat
software update from your PC.
