The parameters that make up a logical channel:
•
Under Label you find all the predefined channel names that you can choose from.
•
Deflt or the default value is the value that is applied to the default layer when Xciter is running a show.
This value appears on the DMX when no other process is applying another value to it.
•
Lolim or low limit is the lowest value that Xciter will output on any physical channel that is patched to this
logical channel, even when you programmed a lower value.
•
Hilim or high limit is the highest value that Xciter will output on any physical channel that is patched to
this logical channel, even when you programmed a higher value.
•
With Fa/Sn or default fade/snap mode, you set the mode the channel is in when you first activate it in the
programmer. If you put this in the most commonly used mode for that type of channel, it will save you a
little time during programming.
•
With Invrs or inverse, you tell the Xciter whether or not to invert the value before sending it out on DMX.
Example: Your fixture´s dimmer opens at 0 and closes at 255 instead of the other way round. If you
invert the channel, it will be inverted twice which results in normal control over the channel.
a. Use the arrow keys or the top right scroll wheel to select a control channel.
b. Press [EDIT] to set the parameters of the selected channel.
c. Use the faders to modify the parameters of the selected channel.
To fine-tune a value, you can hold the bump button under the corresponding parameter while you
turn the top centre jog wheel.
d. If you are modifying the channel name, use the bump button to toggle between coarse and fine
(MSB and LSB). Upper case indicates a coarse channel; lower case indicates a fine channel.
e. [STORE] to store the parameters of the selected channel.
6. Repeat the previous steps (a – e) until you have configured all channels.
Xciter checks whether you have configured all channels before exiting the fixture definition editor. If not,
Xciter asks you to retry.
7. Press [ESC] to return to the fixture definition editor.
8. Press {Advanced Config} to go to the advanced configuration menu.
