You can set the COLORado™ Batten 72 Tour start address in the 001~512 DMX
range. This allows for the control of up to 39 fixtures in the 13-channel TOUR
personality. In addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures for
each starting DMX address, thus multiplying the number of fixtures you can control
within a single universe. You can access the fixture's ID address system from channel
12 when in the TOUR DMX personality.
When programming live performances as well as cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line, program no more than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per
DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second execution time.
Carry out all the programming procedures indicated below from the control panel. Refer
to the Menu Map on page 14 to learn how the menu options relate to each other.

To select an option value, press <UP> or <DOWN> until you see the desired value and
