Page 15: Setting The Dmx Address
Setting the DMX address Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. -
Page 16: Upload Customs
Upload Customs The custom programs in the COLORdash™ Par may be transferred (copied) from one fixture to another, thus giving the ability to have to only program them on a single fixture, and then duplicate this only several others. This is referenced in the Control Panel as “Upload”. Follow the below steps for this process. On all fixtures that are going to receive the upload, set them on DMX operation. - Page 17 COLORdash™ Par User Manual 9/4/2008 12:09 PM...
