All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX
controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This
digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to
"listen" to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The
assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct
DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or
set different addresses for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the
same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way, in other
words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures
simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to
"listen" to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of DMX
channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel
will only affect the selected fixture.
In the case of the LED TOUR PAR 18, when in 13 channel mode you should
set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 14 (13 +
1), the third unit to 27 (14 + 13), and so on. (See chart below for more
details.)
