DMX is a universal binary language used to control intelligent lighting
fixtures. Each dip switch represents a value based on binary code:
Dip Switch 1 address equals 1
Dip Switch 2 address equals 2
Dip Switch 3 address equals 4
Dip Switch 4 address equals 8
Dip Switch 5 address equals 16
Dip Switch 6 address equals 32
Dip Switch 7 address equals 64
Dip Switch 8 address equals 128
Dip Switch 9 address equals 256
Dip Switch 10 address equals 512
Please note dip switch 10 may be omitted on some fixtures!
Several DMX fixtures use dip switch 10 to access different function such
as the Master/Slave operation. For those fixtures turning dip switch 10
on will activate it’s specific function and have no bearing on the DMX
value.
