Configuration

Use an RDM configuration tool to configure the Desire D40XTI Series fixtures. After you
configure the fixtures and disconnect Gadget or a DMX/RDM gateway, you may control the
fixtures with a RDM lighting control device.
For detailed information about LED Config software, refer to the LED Configuration
Software Programming Guide.
D M X A d d r e s s
Assign a DMX address to one or more devices. The DMX address is 1 to 510.
D a t a L o s s
Select the type of data loss. Data Loss is what happens to the fixture's output when the
external control signal (either DMX or data from the Master fixture in a Master/Slave
configuration) is lost. The choices are as follows:
Instant
As soon as the control signal is lost, the fixture shuts off output and the LED array goes
black.
HLL-2Min
Hold last look for 2 minutes. The fixture retains its last setting for 2 minutes after the control
signal is lost, after which it shuts off output.
Cycling power to the fixture before the 2 minutes have passed will clear the last look and
the LEDs will remain off until control signal is restored.
HLL-4ever
Hold last look forever. After data is lost, the fixture maintains its last look until power is
removed from the fixture or control signal is restored. The last look will not be restored after
power has been cycled.

Plus Seven allows enhanced color-mixing precision when using the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or
Studio profile as a starting point for color selection. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8
DMX channels of control at the end of the control channels already in use by the fixture. For
example, in the HSIC profile, with Strobe enabled, the fixture uses 6 channels of control.
Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 channels to the fixture, for a total of 14 channels of
control.
The first additional channel is an activation channel for the Plus Seven function. A value of
0 to 50% (DMX 0 to 129) deactivates Plus Seven. A value of 51 to 100% (DMX 130 to 255)
activates Plus Seven. The remaining 7 additional channels correspond to the individual
colors within the fixture's LED array.
