FREQ 16 Strobe Operation
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a Elation

mer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique pro-
grams tailored to your individual needs.

Channel Mode, 16 Channel Mode, & 18 Channel Mode. See

on pages 8-9 as well as the set-up specifications that are
