“Set DMX Address” - DMX address setting – This function is used to set or adjust
the fixture’s starting DMX address. Every device controlled by DMX has to have a
unique starting address. The addressing feature is what allows DMX to function
properly. The DMX address of a fixture is what allows it to communicate with a
controller properly. The DMX addressing also allows the fixture to ignore any DMX
information coming from the controller that is not meant specifically for the fixture.
Because each fixture is connected in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to assign
a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and every fixture. The DMX
address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the
power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal
power source that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see
Section 10/Page 35 of this user manual.
“Value Display” - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel
With this function you can display the DMX 512 value of each channel. The display
will automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the
controller.
“Set to Slave” - Slave setting for Master/Slave Operation
With this function, you can define the device as slave for operation in Master/Slave
mode. Each slave setting will have a different function for a dynamic lightshow
without a controller.
Auto Program
This function allows the internal programs to run in either stand-alone or master/
salve mode. In “Master” mode the fixture will send DMX data to other fixtures
connect via the DMX chain. In “Alone” mode the fixture will operate as a single
fixture. The program for this mode is selected in the “Select program” section of
the control menu. You can set the number of steps under “Edit program”. You can
edit the individual scenes under “Edit scenes”. With this function, you can run the
individual scenes either automatically, i.e. with the adjusted Step-Time.
Music control
This function is similar to the “Auto Program” described in the previous section with
the exception that this function will advance the built-in program via sound.
