DMX A 16-Bit:
Determines if the circuit receives 16-Bit data from DMX A. Yes/No
(Default = No)
DMX B
The DMXB channel the circuit is patched to.
DMX B 16-Bit:
Determines if the circuit receives 16-Bit data from DMX B. Yes/No
(Default = No)
sACN:
The sACN channel the circuit is patched to. Displayed as either
universe/channel or absolute, based on UI Preference settings
(see
).
sACN 16-Bit:
Determines if the circuit receives 16-Bit data from DMX A. Yes/No
(Default = No)
Arch Zone:
Set the desired zone that the circuit will control. Range is from 0-
16. Default is 1. Zero will exclude the circuit from zone control.
Scale Load:
The scale load setting allows hyper-accurate regulation of the
voltage of the dimmer output. The scale load allows the CEM3
dimming engine to compensate for power losses occurring in the
choke of the dimmer. The scale load is calculated as the load on
the channel divided by the channel’s capacity (in Amperes) and is
expressed as a percentage. For example, a 5A load on a 20A
channel would have a scale load of 25% (5A / 20A x 100% =
25%).
AF Enabled
Enables/disables advanced features for this circuit. Yes = AF
enabled. This field is not available for circuits set to Dimmer
Double.
Recorded Load:
AF-Enabled only - Displays the recorded load for this circuit.
Actual Load:
AF-Enabled only - Displays the current load for this circuit.
Min Scale (VAC):
Displays the minimum scale voltage of the circuit. See
for an illustration relating to this
property.
Max Scale (VAC):
Displays the maximum scale voltage of the circuit. See
for an illustration relating to this
property.
Regulation:
Displays whether voltage regulation is enabled for the circuit (Yes/
No). Default is “Yes”.
Preheat:
Displays whether the Preheat setting is on (Yes = On).
Time (sec):
Preheat Time value allows the preheat level to be sneaked back in
after a blackout to allow rapid snap blackouts. This property
specifies the length of time for the ramp back to preheat level.
Default = 2 seconds.
DC Out Prevent:
If enabled, ensures that both positive and negative half cycles of
the dimmer output are always equal. This setting is typically used
for loads sensitive to DC for example transformers and electronic
loads. Default is “No” (No = Off, Yes = On).
Inrush Protect:
Provides a soft start feature when lamps are turned on from “0” by
ramping up the level over three mains cycles. Default is “No” (No
= Off, Yes = On).
Allow in Panic:
Determines if this circuit should be included in the panic look.
Allow in Preset:
Determines if this circuit should be included in any presets that
may be recorded in the future.
