COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 User Manual Rev. 5
This setting determines how fast the output of the COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 changes
when you modify the values of the Red, Green, Blue, White, and Dimmer faders. This
setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent
lighting product.
1. Go to the Dimmer Mode main level.
2. Select a dimmer curve (OFF, DIM1, DIM2, or DIM3).
OFF:
The output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and RGBA channel
values.
DIM1~3: The output follows the Dimmer and RGBA channel values based on the
corresponding dimmer curve, being DIM1 the fastest and DIM3 the
slowest.
This option shows what version of software the COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 is running.
1. Go to the Info main level.
2. Select Version. (the version number will show on the screen)
This option shows the total amount of hours the COLORdash™ Par-Quad 18 has been
turned on.

This setting allows you to set the amount of time the backlite on the COLORdash™ Par-
Quad 18 stays on after the last button is pressed on the control panel.

This setting allows you to select the white color shown by the COLORdash™ Par-Quad
18 when the DMX controller's Red, Green, and Blue faders are set to "255."
