Crossloading Fixture Software (XLD)
If you have a Technobeam-i fixture with a newer software version, you
can crossload the newer software to all other Technobeam-i fixtures on
the link.
To crossload software:
1. Disconnect or bypass any controllers, serial data distributors, data line
optoisolators, and any fixtures using RS-422 communications (such as
Dataflash
®
AF1000 xenon strobes, Intellabeam
®
fixtures, and Emulator
®
laser simulators). These devices will block communication between
your crossloading fixture and any other Technobeam-i fixtures on the
link.
2. On the crossloading fixture
only
, press and hold the <Menu> button
until “ADDR” appears on the LED display.
3. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “MODE” menu
and press the <Enter> button to select the “MODE” menu.
4. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the “XLD” option
and press the <Enter> button to select the “XLD” option.* The fixture
will upload its software to all other Technobeam-i fixtures on the link.
*Note
This option has a 5-second delay to avoid inadvertent
changes. To crossload fixture software, you must press
and hold the <Enter> button for at least 5 seconds.
The Transmit LED on the
crossloading
fixture will remain on (or flicker).
The Transmit and Receive LEDs on
receiving
fixtures will flicker while
the crossload is in progress, and “UPLD” will appear on the
alphanumeric display as each fixture receives the software upload.
When the crossload has finished successfully, “DONE” will appear
briefly in the LED display of the crossloading fixture, and all other
fixtures will home.
Note
If a new boot code was included with the latest software,
the LED will display a “BOOT DIFF” error. To correct the
boot code, you must copy the new boot code for each
fixture (see “Copying the Boot Code (BOOT)” on page
3-21).
