DMX programming
Each channel in a Matrix device is assigned a DMX channel number from either
DMX-1 or DMX-2 signal inputs. The two numbers can be the same or different, as
required, and a feature is provided to set sequential number groups ('Start'
addressing) instead of individual settings.
Note: When programming a new dimmer device, IT IS IMPORTANT TO SET THE DMX
ADDRESSING SCHEME before the individual characteristics are set, as a later change can
reset previously recorded individual channel characteristic settings.
To set up DMX addressing scheme:
1.
Select INSTALL from the home screen
2.
Press DOWN or UP or rotate the encoder to choose GENERAL SETTINGS
menu. Press SELECT.
3.
Press DOWN or UP or rotate the encoder to choose DMX ADDRESS. Press
SELECT, and the screen shows:
GENERAL SETTINGS
DMX ADDRESS [INDIVIDUAL]
4.
Use the rotary encoder to select either INDIVIDUAL (for individual DMX
addresses in each device) or START (one DMX address only is entered for the
first channel in the device, with other channels following in sequential order).
5.
Press SAVE to leave the menu and to record the changes or CANCEL (to leave
the previous settings unchanged and return to the previous screen).
Note: As there are two DMX lines, both DMX-1 and DMX-2 follow the same scheme. It is not
possible to have one line using a start address, and the other using individual numbers.
To set-up DMX addresses:
1.
First set the DMX scheme as described above (either individual or start
address).
2.
Activate the required device (e.g. device 12) by pressing its front panel access
button (the technology logo above the device's column of LEDs).
3.
From the home screen, select SET-DMX, and to change a setting, press
ENTER
4.
If INDIVIDUAL address option is in use, the screen is similar to this:
SELECT DMX ADDRESS DEVICE 12
CHANNEL
DMX 1
DOWN
5.
If INDIVIDUAL has been selected, use the rotary encoder to select the address
needed for the first dimmer channel and move to other channels by pressing
DOWN or UP repeatedly and adjust DMX addresses accordingly. The rotary
