To do this:

1. Turn the Keyswitch to SYSTEM

2. Press [E] UTILITIES MENU

3. Insert the program disk

4. Press [D] Cache Personality Files. During this operation please disconnect

all MIDI devices connected to the desk.

5. Wait for the file to be loaded (Cached) and then CHECKED. This will take

will have to remake the program disk and repeat the process from step 1.

In the previous software the limit was 120 Fixtures or 240 Dimmers, now it is any
combination of 240 Fixtures or dimmers. Also, there are now 200 focuses and
200 groups; this is to provide compatibility with the Azure and the Sapphire.
