DIM
You can directly access and set dimmers in NEO using the "Dim" command. When a dimmer is set to a specific value
it is said to be captured and will remain on that value regardless of any channel settings patched to that dimmer. You
can think of captured dimmers as an override for the output value.
The "Dim" command works in much the same way as setting channels however you cannot set a time and the value to
be set is always a DMX value (0 - 255).
DIM DMX Channels @ DMX Value
NEO NOTES & TIPS: dim 1+4 @ 164 - The command will capture dmx dimmers 1 & 4 at the dmx value 164.
To release a captured DMX dimmer enter an "rel" at the end of the DMX channel list. If no channels are specified
then the command will release all captured DMX dimmers.

CONNECT
The connect command is used to connect to another remote NEO system. This is useful for controlling multiple
systems from a single master.
Connect {ip address/machine name}
This command establishes a telnet connection with another LF system.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: Connect 192.168.1.19 - The command will connect to a NEO system running on IP address
192.168.1.19. If the connection fails a message in the command line history will be displayed.
SEND & SENDTO
Once connected to a remote NEO system commands can be sent using the "SEND" and "SENDTO" command.
Send {command}
Send the command to the first connected LF system
Sendto {All/remote system} {command}
Send the command to a specific remote system or all remote systems.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: Sendto All 1/40@80 - The command will execute the command "1/40@80" on all the
remote system that the software is currently connected to.
DISCONNECT
Use the disconnect command to finish communication with a remote system.
Disconnect
Disconnects all connections to remote systems.
Disconnect {ip address/machine name}
Disconnects a specific remote system.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: Disconnect 192.168.1.19 - The command will close the connection with the remote NEO
system on 192.168.1.19.
LOAD & SAVE
Both the load and the save commands can be used for a dual purpose.
Load {Path + Filename}
Save {Path + Filename}
If the file name entered has an extension of ".FDB" then the software will save and load the current show. If the
filename extension is not ".FDB" then the system configuration and screen layouts will be saved.
