function or if an update was interrupted by a power failure. The Show Designer 2 will automatically power
up in auto load mode if the program was improperly installed or if there is no program installed. The
message “Rom empty, reload program” will appear in the display. You can also force the Show Designer
into auto load by holding down the menu and erase switches when powering up. The message “download
new program” will appear in the display. You must insert a disk with the new software program on it
before powering up and you must also rename the new software file “autoload.txt”. The disk drive will
automatically try to load any file with this name on power up.
FIXTURE PROFILES
Fixture profiles are small files that are available from elationlighting.com that contain detailed information
about a lighting fixture such as the name and function of each of the channels as well as the name and
DMX values of steps within a channel. Once loaded, a profile can be selected from the fixture list when
choosing fixtures. Fixture profiles are helpful when using the data wheels to program lighting fixture
channels. The display will be able to show the function and current setting for each channel. The wheels
will be able to select from preprogrammed steps within a channel such as the colors on a color wheel.
Fixture profiles also contain “factory presets” which allow you to select colors, gobos or effects using the
number switches instead of the channel wheels or the faders. These presets are accessible from 4 preset
pages labeled “F1” through “F4”. These 4 pages follow page 24 when using the page up switch and are
below page 1 when using the page down switch.
To load a fixture profile using the disk drive, first insert a disk that contains the fixture profile on it then go
to the menu function “Load fixture profile from disk” and press “enter”. When this menu item is selected
the message “Select fixture file, then press enter” will appear on the top line of the display, the bottom line
of the display will show the first fixture profile found on the disk. Use the + or – switch or data wheel 1 to
select a profile (if there is more that one profile on the disk) then press “enter”. The profile will be loaded
into memory and can then be selected using the “choose fixtures” menu. Up to 256 fixture profiles can be
loaded into memory. If you don’t have the disk drive option installed, consult the section in the next
chapter on how to load fixture profiles using the COM port.
NOTE: Fixture profile file names end with the file extension .sdf and cannot be more that 8 characters in
length not including the extension.
