Tips for panel addressing

You may find the following tips helpful when setting addresses on panels:
• Remember that if you have LC 2140 panels in your installation, you must set y coordinate addresses to
14, 16 and 18 to obtain a correct video image.
• As mentioned earlier, when setting the y coordinate of an LC 1140 panel, remember that you must
subtract 1 from the row on the y axis where you want to locate that panel (for example, set the y
coordinate on an LC 1140 panel's DIP switch to 15 if you want that panel to display a tile on row 16 on the
y axis.
• If you are mixing LC 2140 and LC 1140 panels in an installation, bear in mind that LC 1140 panels cannot
be set to display the top row (row with y coordinate zero) in the video image – this row can only be
displayed with LC 2140 panels.
• You can save time converting decimal to binary numbers by using one of the many free converters
available on the Internet.
• After setting the addresses of the panels in an installation, you may need to do a little fine adjustment to
the position of the pixel image on your monitor to align it precisely with your group of panels.
