1-CHANNEL DMX OPERATION
The functions shown in the following table are available in 1-channel mode.
When a “stand-alone” function is selected, the fixture steps through a routine
using a built-in microphone to trigger the action to the beat of the music. Note that
multiple fixtures cannot be synchronized in this mode.
FULL DMX OPERATION
See also the DMX protocol on page 22.
Channel 1 controls lamp power and strobe rate. It also allows you to execute a
program with random color and gobo change using automatic or music trigger.
All effect wheels are reset to their home position when the fixture is powered up;
they can also be reset from the controller by sending a reset command on channel
1.
Channel 2 controls the dimmer.
Channel 3 controls the color wheel. When set to 100 percent, the wheel moves to
random positions using the trigger selected on channel 1.
Channel 4 controls the effect wheel. The wheel’s position depends on the setting
of DIP-switch pin 12 as well as the DMX value. When pin 12 is off, the wheel
goes from open at 0 percent to closed at 90 percent. When pin 12 is on, the wheel
goes from closed at 0 percent, open at 3 percent, to the small iris at 90 percent.
When set to 100 percent, the effect wheel moves to random positions using the
trigger selected on channel 1. See the DMX protocol for complete details.
Channel 5 controls the dimmer speed, allowing you to program fades on
controllers without cross-faders. If your controller has cross-faders, and you use
them, then set channel 5 to the “tracking” speed (0 percent).
Channel 6 controls the speed of the color and effect wheels. If your controller has
cross-faders, and you use them, then set channel 6 to fast (0 percent).
