Port/ offset refers to the DMX universe or port and the offset of the address. For example, since a
single DMX port can transmit 512 addresses (known as a "universe"), the port/ offset for address
515 would look like 2/3 because address 515 is the 3rd address of universe 2.
An example of patching by port/ offset in patch by address mode is [2][/][1][0] [At] [2][0] [Enter],
which patches universe 2 address 10, or 522, to channel 20.
[At] [/] [n] [Enter] can be used to patch an address on the same universe that was last used.
Note:
move between showing the patch as it was originally entered, then the output address val-
ues, and last the port/ offset.
Note:
tiple addresses assigned to it.
Replace
By default, if you patch an address to a channel that is already patched, Eos will create a new part for
the new address. If you want to replace the current address with the new, use {Replace}:
[n] {Replace} [n] [Enter] - replaces the address in part 1 of the selected channel.
[1] [Part] [3] {Replace} [5] [Enter] - replaces the address of part 3 with a new address of 5.
At Next
[At] [Next] [Enter] finds the next available address range large enough to accommodate the selected
device.
Examples of [At] [Next]:
[At] [2] [/] [Next] [Enter] - finds the next available address range on universe 2.
[At] [7] [7] [7] [Next] [Enter] - finds the next available address after 777.
[Address/Patch] [n] [/]
The syntax [Address/Patch] [n] [/] or [At] [n] [/] can be used to select a full universe in patch.
[channel list] [Address/Patch] [n] [/] [Enter]or [channel list] [At] [n] [/] [Enter] - changes the
addresses of all the selected channels to a new universe while using the same offset.
[Address/Patch] [2] [/] [Copy To] [Copy To] <Address> [3] [/] [Enter] - moves all channels with
addresses in universe 2 to the same offsets in universe 3.
[Address/Patch] [n] [/] {Unpatch} - unpatches all patched addresses in the selected universe.
Dimmer Doubling
You can patch channels in Eos to accommodate for dimmer doubling with Sensor dimmer racks. This
is done using the softkeys available in patch ({No Dim Dbl}, {A}, and {B}).
For Example:
Let's assume you patch 96 channels of dimmers to addresses 1 through 96.

It is possible to patch by either address or port/ offset. Pressing the [Data] key will
An address cannot be assigned to multiple channels, but a channel can have mul-
