6.14 Setup
S E T U P
Setup enables the Redback operating system to
toggle between 6 and 12 channel modes. This is
particularly useful if changing the CPU card from
a 6 channel dimmer to a 12 channel dimmer, or
visa-versa, or installing a new CPU card.
Setting a 12 channel Redback to six channel
mode will disable dimmers 3, 4, 7, 8, 11 and 12,
and may also cause unpredictable behaviour in
DMX addressing, Chase patterns and Fade
Curves.
Changing channel mode resets all parameters
(addresses, curves, scenes, times, minimum
and maximum levels, etc) back to their default
values
In this screen:
The Right
„ arrow key enables changing the
channel mode.
