DMX Operation:
When a DMX cable is connected and is transmitting DMX signal from a DMX controller,
the unit will indicate that that DMX is being received by turning on the DMX present indicator in the display.
If a unit is started up without DMX present it will start up in manual mode, but will switch to DMX
mode as soon as a DMX signal is detected.
The unit will stay in DMX mode even if DMX signal is lost. The behavior of the the unit in case of the signal
loss can be set in the menu under Mode - noDMX see below.
Note: Beware, when using Strobe Lenght, that if the Strobe Lenght is egual to or longer than
the flash and interval between flashes, the unit will not strobe.
If maximum strobe length is used the fastest strobe possible will be 17 ( 7% )
