Mode Menu (MODE)
The Mode menu allows you to set the fixture type and protocol and 
crossload software versions from one fixture to all other Technobeam-i 
fixtures on the link.  The procedures below are listed in the order that 
they appear on the menu map.
Setting the Fixture Type and Protocol (TYPE)
Use this menu item to change the fixture type and protocol.  The 
protocol is specific to the fixture and determines the number of DMX 
channels the fixture will use.  
Note
Although Technopro and Technoray fixtures have been 
discontinued, their menu options still exist in the 
protocol.
Available protocols are listed below:
TB F
(Technobeam full protocol) - for use with Technobeam 
fixtures without an iris.  This protocol uses 18 DMX 
channels and is recommended, unless you need to 
conserve the extra four DMX channels for other devices on 
the link.  The full protocol gives you more control over pan 
and tilt position and litho spin speed.  This protocol allows 
you to access the Laser Aiming Device™ (LAD) or macros.
TB R
(Technobeam reduced protocol) - for use with Technobeam 
fixtures only.  This protocol uses 14 DMX channels.  You 
should use this protocol if you need to conserve the extra 
four DMX channels for other devices on the link, and your 
fixtures do not have an iris.
