Patch

• {Address} - A required entry field for any device. You may use [At] instead of the {Address}

button.

•

Use the keypad to define the starting address for the device (from 1 to 65536) or a port

and offset value.

•

You may enter a start address without defining an end address. Ion will draw this

information from the library data. If you wish to leave a larger output gap than required

by the library, use [Offset]. See

Using {Offset} in Patch, page 67

•

If you specify a start address that conflicts with other channels already patched, the

conflicting channels will be unpatched after a confirmation is provided by the user.

• {Interface} - An optional field used to specify what network interfaces should be used for the

output. When the field is left blank, the default data output is used as selected in the
{Network} and {Local I/O} sections of the ECU. For more information about setting defaults
see

Output Protocols, page 342

and

Local DMX Outputs, page 351

. The interface options

available are sACN, Net 2- EDMX, ArtNet, Avab UDP, and Local DMX, depending on what has
been enabled in the {Network} and {Local I/O} sections of the ECU for the desk. If an output
option is not enabled, it will not appear in the {Interface} list.

• {Flash} - will bring a channel or address to full, and then every other second the level will

move to 15%. That will hold for 1 second, and then the level will return to full. The channel or
address will keep flashing until either the command line is cleared or {Flash} is selected
again.
