DMX 頻道控制說明
設定值 0 - 5 = 關
設定值 6 – 249 = 調整輸出量大小 (從 5% 到 95%)
設定值 250 – 255 = 最高輸出量 (100%)

當設定數值在 6 時,機器能啟動最小的輸出量從 5% 開始，在設定值達
到 249 時，輸出量會提高到 95% 。也就是說,隨著設定值的升高輸出
量也會隨之增強。
當設定數值從 250 到 255 時，LUC-1 機器將輸出最大的 100% 輸出
量。
￭ 控制說明
LCU-1 液體控制可透過 Z-8 線控器或 DMX 進行控制
․ 使用 Z-8 線控器控制, 請將 Z-8 線控器插入液體控制器背面的 4 pin 連
