In patch by channel mode, [Flexi] can be used to view only those channels that are currently
patched. In patch by address mode, [Flexi] can be used to view only those addresses that are
currently patched. By pressing [Flexi], you can toggle the view between patched channels/
addresses, selected channels, and all channels/addresses.
Holding down [Flexi] will display the following softkeys:
• {Flexi All} - displays all the channels or addresses depending on which view is used.
• {Patch} - displays only the patched channels or addresses.
• {Selected} - displays any selected channels or addresses.
• {View Channels} - displays those channels selected for the View Channels flexichannel
state. See "View Channels" on page 23.

The output address is the DMX or network DMX (often called EDMX) address. Examples of output
addresses are 510, 1, and 1024.
Port/offset refers to the DMX universe or port and the offset of the address. For example, since a
single DMX port can transmit 512 addresses (known as a "universe"), the port/offset for address
515 would look like 2/3 because address 515 is the 3rd address of universe 2.
An example of patching by port/offset in patch by address mode is [2][/][1][0] [At] [2][0] [Enter],
which patches universe 2 address 10, or 522, to channel 20.

The syntax [Dimmer/Address] [n] [/] can be used to select a full universe in patch.
• [channel list] [Dimmer/Address] [n] [/] [Enter] - changes the addresses of all the selected
channels to a new universe while using the same offset.
• [Dimmer/Address][2] [/] [Copy To] [Copy To] <Address> [3] [/] [Enter] - moves all
channels with addresses in universe 2 to the same offsets in universe 3.
• [Dimmer/Address] [n] [/] {Unpatch} - unpatches all patched addresses in the selected
universe.

As it is possible to patch by either address or port/offset, pressing the [Data] key
will move between showing the patch as it was originally entered, then the EDMX
values, and last the port/offset.
