for storing the least significant four bits of the next two twelve bit reso-
lution channels. Any twelve bit resolution channel that is addressed
at an address that can be divided evenly by three plus one (address-
es 1, 4, 7, 10, etc.) will need to have the previous address sent so
that its lowest four bit nibble isn’t lobbed off. Any twelve bit resolution
channel that is addressed at an address that can be divided evenly
by three plus two (addresses 2, 5, 8, 11, etc.) will need to have the
previous two addresses sent so that its lowest four bit nibble isn’t
lobbed off.

Output to Test & Adjust: This command is used to set the output ad-
dress that will be used by the 'Test Output', 'Set Analog Endpoints',
'Force analog Endpoints', 'Force output to a Value', ‘set
Min/Max/forced using keypad’, and 'set PowerOn Defaults' com-
mands. If the output address selected is one of the sixteen on the
SER-DMX, then an arrow will appear next to it on the screen. In the
example screen above you can see this arrow pointing to address
14. The data for the output which is selected using this command will
also be sent to the ‘Output Under Test’ LED on the SER-DMX.

k) Test Output: When toggled to ‘Test One Output’, the single output se-

lected by the 'Output to Test & Adjust' command will be ramped up
and down. The ramp time is about 5 seconds. The time the output
stays at each extreme is about a second. When toggled to ‘Test All
Outputs’, all of the outputs will be ramped between their two ex-
tremes. The ramp times are the same as when ramping a single out-
put.

e) Auto Ease-In: When enabled, this feature will keep all the selected

channels from jumping at a high rate of speed if:
a) The DMX-512 data starts being received.
b) An output is forced to a specific value.
c) One or more outputs are put into or taken out of the internal

test mode.

d) At boot up as the outputs assume their default positions.

This command allows you to select the amount of time any out-

put will take to ramp from one extreme to the other and which out-
puts will be using the Ease-In feature. The range of time available is:

0) Ease-In is disabled
1) 1/4 second
2) 1/2 second
3) 1 second
4) 1-1/2 seconds
5) 2 seconds
