Version 1.1

Add DMX Channels

It is recommended to add the DMX channels directly in the correct order. 
This avoids work afterwards to rearrange channels und set correct patch breaks.

To add DMX channels to the fixture, click at the plus under the DMX channels table.
The Add DMX Channels window opens.


Figure: Add Dmx Channels

All DMX channels regarding the selected mode needs to be added.

  1. If the DMX channel is a DMX start address, click the check box.
  2. Select the preset type tab of the DMX channel, e.g. Colour.
  3. Select the attribute by opening the drop down list, e.g. COLORRGB1
    - or -
    type the attribute name in the field for a quicker selection. For more information on mix color attributes see Mix Color Attribute Table. 
  4. Type the coarse DMX channel, e.g. 1.
  5. If the attribute has an additional fine DMX channel, click the check box.
    The program inserts the next number after the coarse channel number, automatically.
  6. Type the fine DMX channel, if the automatically inserted channel number is wrong.
  7. Type the highlight value corresponding to the encoder readout.
    The highlight value is the output of the fixture for this attribute if you press Highlt on the console.
    If the field is empty and you press Highlt, the programmer values doesn´t change.
    We recommend as highlight values a full dimmer and a white color. This helps you to find the fixture in a rack or on the stage.
  8. To save and close the window, click Save.
    -or-

The DMX channel is saved and added to the DMX channel list.
