So, the software upgrade improves i-Batten sensitivity somewhat, but not as much as it should. It's odd that a line runs fine using the paddle controllers at lower sensitivity levels, but running off the touch screen icon, a move to command or in a cue list, it halts after a few feet at any sensitivity setting under 30lbs. The field service technician seemed surprised by this, so maybe there have been improvements in the sensors since my motors were installed in 2005.
Any other Vortek owners out there? Are you experiencing the same problem?
Having not worked with the Vortek system, I'm curious:
How does one handle the shift of 'cable weight' when moving an electric, etc? As the batten flys out it picks up more weight (assuming lighting circuits come from the grid). As a batten flys in, the weight is shifted back to the grid.
Does Vortek allow for weight shifts at different trims as 'normal'? IE, can you set it to know that at +30' it will be 30lbs pipe heavy, and at +50 it will be 80lbs pipe heavy?
Just curious...
