Locate Device

Uses the Art-Net ArtAddress commands to set the controller's status LEDs.

▪Mute Status Indicators - Switches off and disables all built-in status indicators of a device over Art-Net [ArtAddress > AcLedMute].

▪Operate Status Indicators Normally - Allows the built-in status indicators of a device to operate normally again, after having them switched off [ArtAddress > AcLedNormal].

▪Locate Device - Activates the highlight mode [ArtAddress > AcLedLocate]. The corresponding status indicators of the selected interfaces will flash for a better identification or tests.
This makes it easier to see the device on site/stage. It considerably speeds up the procedure of programming or testing the selected interfaces.
In case of MADRIX STELLA 8, the MADRIX logo on the controller itself will be blinking as long as Locate Device is active.

Shows a helpful representation of the controller.

▪In this way, you always have a picture of the controller and its physical layout available.

▪A condensed version will be shown when displayed on mobile devices.

▪The status LEDs for Power, USB, Ethernet as well as DMX 1 to DMX 8 will light up in this graphic the same way they are physically lit on the device itself when sending or receiving control data.
- See the MADRIX STELLA 8 Technical Manual for all Status-LED Codes
- Even if Mute Status Indicators [see above] is enabled, the device status will be shown through the status LEDs here.

▪The MADRIX Logo will blink if Locate Device is enabled [see above] or even sent to the device from the outside.

▪The MADRIX Logo will appear red if the connection to the device has been lost.

▪The PoE/Ethernet label/icon will blink green if PoE is connected and used.

- Detailed data rates are available under menu »Information
- Gray indicates no connection.
- Dark Green indicates a successful connection.
- Light Green indicates light bandwidth usage.
- Orange indicates medium bandwidth usage.
- Red indicates heavy bandwidth usage.

▪ Optimal Voltage - Is the preferred and ideal state as the controller is able to operate normally regarding the supply of power.

▪ Voltage Too High - The controller will manage its power and deactivate the DMX Ports.
- It is advised to make sure that the controller receives the correct voltage!

▪ Voltage Too Low - The controller will manage its power and deactivate the DMX Ports.
- It is advised to make sure that the controller receives the correct voltage!
 

▪Optimal Temperature - Is the preferred and ideal state as the controller is able to operate normally regarding the ambient temperature.

▪ Temperature Too High - The controller may shut down soon due to overheating or in general the longevity of the unit is threatened. The controller will deactivate the DMX Ports.
- It is advised to make sure that the ambient temperature is lowered!

▪Temperature Too Low - The controller will deactivate the DMX Ports.
- It is advised to make sure that the ambient temperature is increased!
