IQ-MX60 |
If your product has switches labelled 1, 2 and 128 (in addition to 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64) then these should be switched OFF.
Switch 16 reverses the X-direction movement. Switch 32 reverses the y movement. This allows the joystick to work in the most logical fashion, depending on whether the lanterns are facing towards or away from the controller. Some products also have a X-REV switch. when run from the IQ-MX60 this does the same as the the 16 switch.
There is no limit to the number of lanterns that may be assigned to each channel. Lanterns assigned to the same channel will perform identically. There is a limit of 32 devices which may be connected to a DMX line.
