10 using an 8 second fade regardless of the fade time recorded with preset 10
originally. Note that this new fade time is temporary. To permanently change the fade
time for the preset, you must recall the preset and then re-record it with the new fade
time as shown in the “recording a preset” command.
Changing the fade time recorded with a preset
Each preset has a default fade time of 5 seconds. This is set when the preset is
recorded. The fade time associated with each preset can be changed so that when the
preset is played, its fade time is also recalled. The fade time command sets the time
for the last preset recalled. To set the time of a particular preset, recall that preset
using the play preset command and then set its time using the command format:
F ###
For example:
F 10
In this example, the currently active preset’s fade time will be set to 10 seconds.
Clearing outgoing levels
The ‘Z’ (zero) command is used to set all DMX channels to 0. This is useful for clearing
all levels as a starting point to build a new preset. The format for the command is:
Z
Entering this command will immediately set all channels to zero. No time parameter is
allowed with this command.
Software version
The ‘V’ (version) command is used to view the installed software version number. The
format for the command is:
V
There are no parameters allowed with this command.
Setting the mode
The ‘M’ (mode) command is used to select whether the DMX port is set to transmit or
receive. While in transmit mode, the interface is the source of DMX like a console.
While in receive mode, an external DMX source can be used to set up looks. The RS-
232 to DMX interface can record those looks into its presets and queries can be used to
retrieve the current incoming DMX levels. Mode 0 sets the interface to transmit DMX.
Mode 1 sets the interface to receive DMX. The format for the mode command is:
M #
For example:
M 1
In this example, the interface will be set to receive DMX.
