The virtual devices are pre-commissioned to define this triggering structure. The tables in Appendix 3 detail the pre-programmed relationship between the virtual devices and the DMX output slots. Page 6 DALItoDMX User Guide...

(see ‘Failure Mode’ on page 7). The DALI go to unexpected device will stay at that intensity until DALItoDMX next refreshes intensities it. Dali-Scope can be used to read the device’s System Failure Level.
