User manual POCKETWIZARD MULTIMAX 7.5 ADDENDUM

[. . . ] PocketWizard. com Owner's Manual Addendum Including: MultiMAX Firmware Upgrade v7. 5 (for USB-enabled FCC/CE MultiMAX radios only) Special Note for CE MultiMAX Owners MultiMAX Firmware Upgrade v7. 5 MultiMAX 7. 5 is packed with new features and capabilities for the MultiMAX user including a new Long Range Mode for remote camera triggering, which beta testers found particularly useful in arenas and other challenging remote camera applications. Additionally, you can now move your Custom ID to any PocketWizard frequency for better triggering in crowded shooting environments. Multi-Zone Receive allows you to select more then one zone for receive, useful when sharing lights. The new Signal Strength Indicator provides a quick view of local noise levels when the unit is turned on then switches to indicate the strength of the last trigger received. [. . . ] Noise Sniffer "SLOW" scan might help there. If your radio has been triggered, the Signal Indicator shows the strength of the last trigger received. More bars = clear signal. Noise Sniffer - /MENU B L (Receive Only) L:NOISE SNIFFER The Noise Sniffer is a MultiMAX tool for troubleshooting RF issues. It can show the relative radio noise for the MultiMAX channel and frequency displayed. To access the Noise Sniffer set the MultiMAX to RECEIVE then press /MENU B L. In Noise Sniffer mode, use the arrow keys to cycle through the channels. If you have a Custom ID, it will use the correct frequency for your Custom ID channel. Place the MultiMAX in a location you intend to use, or walk around with the MultiMAX to help pinpoint noise sources. Move the antenna closer to cable-runs and metal structures to see if they are sources of RF noise on your channel. 127 = maximum noise the MultiMAX can sense. As low as possible and still have reliable operation. These numbers are only for comparing one channel to another or for verifying RF noise as a possible factor on your channel or location of choice. There is no perfect number, so operation needs to be evaluated in context with these numbers. vi PocketWizard. com · FAST Noise ­ displays noise readings as fast as the MultiMAX can sample. If this number is consistently high, there is a strong interference source in the area. It samples so quickly, however, that brief transient noise is hard to note. · SLOW Noise ­ displays the highest noise sample out of the last 150. This will help you see live transient or very brief noise like another PocketWizard radio triggering. · PEAK Noise ­ displays the highest noise reading (FAST or SLOW) since you last cleared it or changed channels. This will help you see the highest noise moment, but it is not real time. It is good for catching the most transient of interference or as a reference when evaluating a better location. When all three numbers are roughly equal, this represents the base line RF noise for that channel in that location. [. . . ] You must use a ­P cable and it must be set to OFF for this to function properly. x PocketWizard. com PocketWizard Utility Your MultiMAX has a USB port which allows it to be easily updated to the latest firmware using the PocketWizard Utility.
