7.7 Adjusting differing illumination levels

The EUROLIGHT LC2412 lets you adjust illumination levels of
various lighting elements to one another so they better match
each other. This lets you increase illumination levels of lighting
elements whose illumination is insufficient for a specific fader
position. In that case, the lighting element whose illumination
level was insufficient shines sufficiently brightly.
Program this setting by doing the following:
1. Press UTILITY 1.
2. Select the “MORE” option using SOFT B.
3. Select “SELECT CURVE” using SOFT A.
4. The display now shows in its upper left portion the channel,
to its right the status “LINEAR” (standard setting) or “CURVE”
(increase). You can now set up the desired setting for this
channel by using SOFT A or SOFT B.
5. By using the DATA wheel you can select the desired channel.
6. Complete the programming procedure by pressing QUIT.
7.8 Erasing all settings/
displaying software version
To
do the following:
1. Press and keep pressed the SOFT A and SOFT B keys. Then

3. We have created an additional step for your safety. Use the
Soft A (“NO”) or Soft B (“YES”) keys located under the
respective options to select one or the other. Selecting “YES”
erases all memories and stored chases. In doing so, all settings
relevant to the console’s functions are reset to their factory
settings (SOLO ALL ENABLED, CURVE ALL LINEAR).

feature: By using a so-called demultiplexers (demux), you can
convert digital commands into analog and therefore control your
analog dimmer packs.
address the demultiplexer freely, that is, it can for example begin
with channel 12 and therefore convert control commands from
console channels 13 - 24 into analog signals (DMX channel 0 is
controlled one-to-one by console channel 1 and so on, hence
the numbering offset). Furthermore, you need only short
multicores for analog control, since you can arrange the
demultiplexer near the dimmers and send control commands via
a single DMX line.
according to the DMX512 Digital Data Transmission Standard For
Dimmers And Controllers, that was established in April 1990 by
the USITT Engineering Commission (United States Institute for
Theatre Technology, Inc.). Since virtually all modern equipment
