FREQ 16 Strobe Operation
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a Elation
®
universal DMX-512 controller to control the chases and patterns, dim-
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
pages 16-17 for a detailed description of the DMX traits.

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

Mode and to set the DMX address. After you have selected your
