command supports one channel move at a time.

The “@” character may be used instead of the “L” character to indicate the level for the
channel. This allows for a command such as:

C 15 @ 45

Recording a preset
The RS-232 to DMX512 interface can record 20 different presets. Once levels have
been set using the channel command, those levels can be recorded in a preset for later
recall. The format for this command is:

R ##

For example:

R 5

In this example, the current output levels will be recorded into preset 5.

A default time of 5 seconds is recorded with each preset. The time recorded with the
preset can be changed using the “F” (fade) command.

Note that a preset may be recorded from levels set by the interface while it is in mode
0. DMX levels from an outside source may be captured to a preset while the interface is
set to mode 1.

Playing a preset
The 20 presets can be recalled using the play preset command. The interface uses a
“radio button” action. When one preset is recalled, all output channels go to the
recorded levels for the new preset. Thus, only one preset is active at a time. Once the
preset is “live”, individual channels can be set to new levels to create new presets or to
modify the existing look. The format for playing a preset is:

P ##

For example:

P 5

In this example, preset 5 will be recalled. The output will fade to the levels in preset 5 in
the fade time recorded with the preset.

The fade time for a preset can be temporarily overridden using the time parameter in
the preset recall command using the format:

P ## T ###

For example:

P 10 T 8

In this example, preset 10 will be recalled. The output will fade to the levels in preset
