the second connector begins at 1. Its channel, however, is 513.
The default dimmer curve is Curve 2
Connector Information
Sabre can be configured to use 1 or 2 output connectors for DMX channels. When the
console is configured for up to 512 dimmers, 1 output connector is reserved for channels.
If the system is configured for 513 – 1024 dimmers, 2 output connectors are reserved for
channels.
The channel connector is defined in the Service Tools/Config System/Special Numbers/bit
H. If you need 2 connectors for channels make sure that bit H is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. If the
console is configured for up to 512 dimmers, you can assign output connector 6 as the
channel connector.
The connector number appears at the head of the DMX row in the Channel Patch table. It
also appears above the F keys' display, so you know which connector you are patching or
examining.
