9.1 Function Mode:
9.1. "Set DMX Address"
9.1.1 DMX address setting – This function is used to set or adjust the fixture's starting
DMX address. Every device controlled by DMX has to have a unique starting address.
The addressing feature is what allows DMX to function properly. The DMX address of a
fixture is what allows it to communicate with a controller properly. The DMX addressing
also allows the fixture to ignore any DMX information coming from the controller that is
not meant specifically for the fixture. Because each fixture is connected in a daisy-chain
fashion it is imperative to assign a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and
every fixture. The DMX address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture's
memory even when the power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and
retain by an internal power source that should last about five years. For proper DMX
addressing see Section 10/Page 35 of this user manual.
9.1.2 "Value Display" - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel
With this function you can display the DMX 512 value of each channel. The display will
automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the controller.
9.1.3 "Set to Slave" - Slave setting for Master/Slave Operation
With this function, you can define the device as slave for operation in Master/Slave
mode. Each slave setting will have a different function for a dynamic lightshow without a
controller.
9.1.4 Auto Program
This function allows the internal programs to run in either stand-alone or master/salve
mode. In "Master" mode the fixture will send DMX data to other fixtures connect via the
DMX chain. In "Alone" mode the fixture will operate as a single fixture. The program for
this mode is selected in the "Selectprogram" section of the control menu. You can set
the number of steps under "Edit program". You can edit the individual scenesunder
"Edit scenes". With this function, you can run the individual scenes either
automatically, i.e. with theadjusted Step-Time.
