10. The settings of DMX START ADDRESS + FADER CHANL - 1= FADER DMX ADDRESS.
- For example, FIXTURE 1 is set to 11 as its DMX start address and its 1/D fad­ er channel is set to 1. Then, move the 1st fader (1/D of FIXTURE 1), the output of the 11th DMX channel will be changed. But, if FIXTURE 1 is set to 11 as its DMX start address and its 1/D fader channel is set to 10, then, move the 1st fader (1/R of FIXTURE 1), the output of the 20th DMX channel will be changed.”
11. When in patching, a “!” mark is shown in the LCD display means there is a overlap in the patching of DMX channels. This shall be corrected; Otherwise, the DMX may run in error.
- For example: FIXTURE 1 start DMX ad- dress is 001, if the fixture have 26 chan­ nels mode. So other fixture can not patch 001-026, other start DMX address must be then 026. if other fixture start DMX channel less-than 026, FIXTURE 1 channel will overlap, LCD will display “!” ma r k. If FIXTURE 1 only 10 channels user, you can delete 11-26 fader patch, then other fixture DMX start address can patch in 011.
