6.1 EDIT THE PATCH (Patching)
To patch moving fixtures see “Section 7”
To edit the patch, hold [function] tap [patch]. Press [edit]
6.1.1 Patching DMX Slots (Addresses) to Channels
Rotate the EDIT wheel or press
[<] or [>] to select the DMX slot. maXim models with 2 DMX
universes (2 outputs) use U1 or U2 to indicate DMX Universe. When the DMX slot is
incremented above the highest number in universe 1 (U1-512), it changes to universe 2 (U2 -1).
To patch the selected DMX slot to a channel, press the
[F/A] button of the channel number.
??
The F/A LED will be lit on any maXim channel that is patched to a DMX slot. This
indicates used maXim channel numbers.
Select another DMX slot with the EDIT wheel, [<] or [>] and patch it to a channel as above.
??
As each DMX slot is selected with [<] or [>] or the Edit Wheel, if the DMX slot is patched
to a maXim channel, then the F/A LED of that channel will flash.
To save the patch, press [edit]
6.1.2 Patching Multiple Channels
When patching a channel to a DMX slot (above) to automatically patch a sequential range of
desk channels to a sequential range of dimmers, press
[<] or [>] or rotate the EDIT wheel to
select the DMX slot for the first dimmer.
Hold
[F/A] of the first channel to be patched, then tap [F/A] of last channel to be patched.
All channels in the selected range will be patched directly to their respective dimmers.
6.1.3 Set a Proportional Patch Level
When patching a channel to a DMX slot (above), hold down the flashing
[F/A] button of the
channel. The display shows the patch level. Whilst holding down the channel [F/A] button,
rotate the EDIT wheel to set the patch level.
6.1.4 Unpatch a DMX Slot from a Channel
To remove a single patch, select the DMX slot (above) then press
[remove], [yes] or set the
proportional patch level to zero.
6.1.5 DMX Slots Patched to a Channel
Each channel may be patched to more than one DMX slot. To determine which DMX slots are
patched to a channel, when patching a channel to a DMX slot (above) hold down
[function]
then repeatedly tap the [F/A] button of the channel in question. The display will cycle through
all of the DMX slots patched to that channel.
If a DMX slot is already patched to a channel and you attempt to patch it to a different channel
then the display will ask “DMX # patched to channel # - replace ?”. If you press
[no] ,
the patch remains. If you press [yes], the patch is deleted and the new patch made.
To save the patch, press [edit]
6.2 REMOVE (DELETE) ALL PATCHES
To remove all patches, hold [function] tap [patch]. Press [remove] [yes]

matching DMX slot number. If any patch is then made, the bypass is automatically removed.
