Troubleshooting
1. Select Series drop down menu options do not appear on my
screen.
a. The monitor is too small to show all options. Expand the
window to full screen or use the scroll bar on right side
of screen to see full options.
2. Programming a (i.e. Fast Quad) pattern to my single color
lightbar yields no ashing.
a. Under the Pattern Selection tab, check the drop down
Level menus for chosen pattern.
b. Was a Primary Only pattern section selected under the
drop down menu?
c. Scroll to see which section of the drop down is selected.
Make sure a Primary Only pattern is selected.
3. My lightbar doesn’t ash correctly after programming.
a. Check that the Select Series drop down at the top has the correct series
chosen.
b. If not, click the drop down to the right and select the proper series bar.
c. Reselect ashes for the various Lamp Position and Level Positions.
4. Nothing changed in my Smart Pro conguration interface after reading a
lightbar.
a. Make sure the connection from SmartPro handheld device is rmly
connected to lightbar before pressing the Read to Device button.
b. Make sure USB is not connected to the computer when Smart Pro is
reading from lightbar. Make sure there is no connection to lightbar when
USB is connected to the computer and computer is reading the SmartPro.
c. Make sure USB is rmly connected when computer is reading from device
d. Make sure lights on pushbuttons are lighting when pressed.
(replace batteries if not)
e. If still nothing changes, try rebooting your computer.
