to perform software update. If the option "Incremental Update" is not checked, all processors will be
updated (including processors with the same software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, check the Incremental Update box.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the Info Box window.
When the update is finished, the line with the text "The fixture is successfully updated'will appear in
this window and the fixture will reset with the new software.
Note: In the case of an interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture keeps the updating mode
and you have to repeat the software update again.
For example: The fixture was switched off before finishing software upload. After switching again the fixture on,
the fixture is still in the updating mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat
software update from your PC.

This fixture is ready for RDM operation.RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code," and by complying with the timing specifications for
DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.
