System Settings
This section allows setting of the DMX universe format (alpha or numeric), selection of DMX Merge options, resetting
all system defaults, and for initiating a software update.
The Default All button will reset all system devices to their factory settings. This action will require a confirmation, and
should only be done for shop prep or initial start-up!
DMX Merge allows merging of DMX512 data for multiple universes assigned to the same number. For example, if two
inputs are set to 001a and 2-way merge is enabled, then the resulting output for outputs set to universe 001 would be
the highest value for each channel between the two inputs (HTP). If three inputs are active at 001, the outputs would
be disabled.
Options are as follows:
+ Disable: no DMX universe merging.
+ 2-Way: allows up to 2 DMX universe inputs per universe.
+ 3-Way: allows up to 3 DMX universe inputs per universe.
+ 4-Way: allows up to 4 DMX universe inputs per universe.
The S400 Loader can be opened by clicking the Load Software button. This window can be used to view current
software versions for all online devices and to initiate a system-wide software update. By clicking the Start Download
button, all device software versions will be updated sequentially. Devices that already have the current version will not
be affected. Progress of the update will be shown via the text display and the progress bar. Click Done when
complete.
Note: Unlike older versions of S400 software, v3.0 and greater allow software update for all devices in a single step
(instead of updating devices one-by-one).
Use the Merge menu
to set merge options.
