DMX MODE
Using the 1 thru 3 mode dipswitches you can control the intensity, duration, rate by
DMX in 7 different ways with a DMX-512 Board. The following table show how the various
settings these dip switches effect the way the DMX data should be sent.
* By setting duration for a long enough period, latch on is possible
** Performance of Strobes will depend heavily on the intelligence and versatility of the DMX board when
rate is set by the DMX refresh. Higher rates can be achieved if smaller data packets are sent more often.
For modes that use only 1 DMX channel, units should be addressed sequentially
For modes that use 2 DMX channels, units should be addressed at every other address
For modes that use only 3 DMX channel,units should be addressed at every 3rd address
