06/ Configuring the Device for DMX Control

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when operating with a DMX controller,
in order to ensure that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. Incorrect
settings will result in unpredictable responses from the lighting controller.
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 this case, please note that 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 "listen" starting at 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.
For example, if the first fixture is set to 2 ch DMX mode with a start DMX address of 1, the
following fixture in the DMX chain should then be set to a DMX address of 3. As the first
fixture uses all the first 2 DMX channels, the next available channel is 3 (2+1=3 >> 3).
