The Command Line:
The universe command line is roughly based on standard lighting console
patching syntax, and is meant to be done on a standard numeric keypad. The
key mapping is as follows:
Button Command
0 through 9 Numeric entry buttons - 0 through 9
* AT
- THRU
/ PRIORITY
+ MERGE
Enter Enter
. DOT Source Designator
To enter a command, simply enter the DMX output channel or range of
channels, followed by the AT symbol, followed by the xDMX channel or channels

DMX channel <AT> Output Channel(s)

To add a single patch element to a universe, assigning xDMX Source 1, channel

1*1<ENTER>
or
1*1.1<ENTER>
A patch element will be added at the highest priority (8) for channel 1:
