Assigning dimmers to scrollers
To have communication with the scrollers, you must assign them dimmer addresses in the
Channel patch menu. The assignments must be identical with the local address on the
scroller. The number of scrollers defined in the System Configuration determines the
number of scrollers in the system.
Default DMX addresses for scrollers are the last dimmers in the system. Example: the
system configuration is 512 dimmers, 480 channels, and 20 scrollers. The default
assignments in the Channel Patch menu are:
DIM 493 494
