Chapter 4:
DMX Programming
A Parameter (construct) is a fixture attribute that can be controlled to modify the
light beam in terms of color, beam quality and pattern, intensity, or focus (position).
To program fixtures, DMX values are assigned to each of the fixture's parameters
according to that fixtures DMX protocol. A scene (sometimes referred to as a cue or
look depending on the controller used) is one set of attribute options. Combining
scenes into sequences, assigning times and synchronizing fixtures on a link are the
basics of show creation.
This chapter discusses the DMX programming options and describes the parameters
in the x.Spot DMX protocol. For a complete table of DMX values for the x.Spot
fixture running standard protocol, see "Appendix A: x.Spot™ DMX Protocol" .

x.Spot DMX Protocol

The design of the x.Spot fixture allows for multiple configurations. Channels 1–14
control the general fixture operation and are basic to all configurations. In a standard
configuration, Slot 1 holds a Six-Wheel Color Mix Module, Slot 2 has a Dual Rotating
Gobos Module and a Rotating Gobo and Iris module is in Slot 3, see Table 4-1.
