Colortran Encore Control Console

Software Version 3.05

A-2

After the console has recognized that you have inserted a valid Operating

System disk, you will be prompted to “cycle power on the console.” Simply

turn the keyswitch to “Off”, wait a few seconds, and turn it back to “On”. At

this point the new software begins loading. The entire process should take

about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the model of your console. You must

not turn off the console or unplug power from it during this process. The

monitor screen will track the progress of the new software loading. The screen

will show verification of the existing read-only-memory (ROM) allocation; then

it will begin to overwrite the existing ROM. When this process is complete, a

message appears that indicates that the upgrade was successful, and instructs

you to turn the console off, then back on. Once again, simply turn the

keyswitch to “Off”, wait a few seconds, and turn it back to “On”.

At this point you can verify that you have successfully loaded new software by

observing the version number shown at the top of the Setup display.

? NOTE: If you should experience a power failure or other problem

that causes a malfunction during the upgrade procedure, turn the keyswitch to

“Off”, wait a few seconds, and turn it back to “On”. If you cannot restore the

console to normal functioning, call Colortran Field Service at (800) 959-6004

for further instructions.

Memory Test

You can perform a test of the Random Access Memory (RAM) in the console

by using the (TEST MEM) soft key, under the (MEMRY OPTNS) soft key in

the Setup display. The only reason to run this test is because the console

appears to be experiencing memory corruption. Usually memory corruption

occurs because the RAM battery is dead, so you may also want to check that it

is OK. This test will delete all show information in memory, so you should

save your show to disk before performing a memory test. There is a warning

that requires you to verify that you want to run the memory test.

While the test is running, a box shows you its progress. You will see two

groups of numbers: one on the left, and one on the right. The numbers on the

left signify kilobytes of memory being tested, and the numbers on the right

increment every time that the full memory of the console has been tested. The

memory test will run until a memory error is encountered. If you leave the

console alone for a while and come back, you will see how many full memory

tests have run without encountering any memory errors. If the memory test has

stopped, it means that a memory error has occurred; you should call Colortran

Field Service if this occurs. Usually 10 to 20 successful passes at the full

memory test is conclusive that your memory is OK. Once you start a memory

test, you can only stop it by turning off the console with the keyswitch.

? EXAMPLE: To test the Random Access Memory (RAM) in the

console from the Setup display:

1. Save your show to disk if you wish to save the show information.
