Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.
12. DMXA PAT Patch the 120 dimmer (PWM) outputs to any DMX A input channel.
There are two ways to configure the DMX patch. Each of the 120 dimmer (PWM)
outputs can be manually (MANUAL) patched to a DMX input channel, or patched in
blocks (BLOCK) of sequential dimmers and DMX channels.
For MANUAL patching, each of the dimmers are patched individually. First, the
dimmer (DIM) output is selected, and then any DMX input channel from 001 to 512 is
patched to the selected dimmer.
For BLOCK patching, a sequential range of dimmers are patched to a sequential
range of DMX channels. First, the first dimmer number (DIM#) in the block is selected,
then the DMX A start address (DMXA) for the block is selected, and then finally the
number of dimmers (#DIM) in the block is selected. For example, if DIM# is 001, DMX
is 001, and #DIM is 120, then all of the dimmer outputs, 001 thru 120 are addressed
sequentially to DMX channels 001 thru 120. For a more complex example, if DIM# is
061, DMX is 321, and #DIM is 030, then dimmer outputs 061 thru 091 are addressed
sequentially to DMX channels 321 thru 351.
Using a combination of MANUAL and BLOCK patching methods can speed up
configuration. Typically, a BLOCK of dimmers is first patched and then edited using
the MANUAL patch.
The DMX patch should be cleared (CLEAR) before configuring the patch. Clearing
the patch ensures all previously configured patch data is cleared (erased).
When DMXA PAT is utilized in conjunction with DMXB PAT, each of the 120 dimmer
(PWM) outputs can be patched to (controlled from) any DMX input channel from 001
to 512, from either or both of the DMX A and DMX B inputs simultaneously.
If a dimmer is patched to both DMX A and DMX B input channels, the DMX levels are
merged and highest-takes-precedence (HTP).
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and configure the DMX A patch.
Press MENU ( ) to scroll through and select the patching method.
MANUAL? Press EXECUTE to patch each of the dimmers manually (MANUAL).
DIM DMXA The top line shows the dimmer (DIM) and (DMXA) address headings.
001<999? The second line shows the dimmer (DIM) and (DMXA) address values.
120<999? Press MENU ( ) to select the dimmer (DIM) from 001 to 120 to patch.
001<999? Press MENU ( ) and MENU ( ) at the same time to toggle back to 001.
001 999? Press EXECUTE to advance and select the DMXA address for the dimmer.
001 999? DMXA is initialized at 999 to indicate the dimmer is not patched.
001 999? ? indicates the DMXA address (513 to 999) is invalid and is not patched.
001 999? The cursor (_) position indicates the DMXA digit to be edited.
001 999? Press EXECUTE to move the cursor to the right, under the digit to be edited.
001 999? Press ESCAPE to move the cursor to the left or to exit the menu.
001 512 Press MENU ( ) to select the DMXA address from 001 to 512.
001 999? Press MENU ( ) and MENU ( ) at the same time to toggle back to 999.
Repeat until all required dimmers are manually patched.
BLOCK? Press EXECUTE to patch the dimmers in a sequential block (BLOCK).
