For a more complex example, if DIM# is 049, DMX is 321, and #DIM is 024, then
dimmer outputs 049 thru 073 are addressed sequentially to DMX channels 321 thru 344.
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 96 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).
