DMX function settings

DMX function settings include the DMX address and a DMX value viewer.
DMX addressing
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture can be controlled using
signals sent by a DMX controller over 17 channels. Each DMX controlled
fixture must have a DMX address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX
address of 10, then it uses channels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. The following fixture in the DMX chain could then be
set to a DMX address of 27.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address, if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
The DMX address is configured using the DMX FUNCTIONS menu in the
control panel.
To set the fixture's DMX address:
1. Select DMX FUNCTIONS and press ENTER.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select DMX ADDRESS and press
ENTER to confirm. The present address will blink on the display.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a new address.
4. Once the address has been selected, press ENTER to set it (or press
MENU to exit without saving any changes).
DMX viewer
The DMX viewer lets you see the DMX values that the fixture is receiving on
each channel. This lets you check for a correct DMX signal and correct
operation.
To see the DMX values:
1. Select DMX FUNCTIONS and press ENTER.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select DMX VALUE and press ENTER.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the DMX channels and
press ENTER to select a channel. The fixture will display the DMX value it
is receiving on that channel.
4. Press MENU to exit the viewer.
