PATCH
COLUMNS
The columns of the Patch display provide the following information:
Column Name Purpose
1 Channel Lists the DMX512 channel number from 1
to 512
2 Lamp The number of the moving lamp. Switch-
Edit generates this automatically,
numbering lamp 1 as the lowest DMX
channel value.
3 Fixture The text name of the moving lamp. This
corresponds to the name in the Fixture
Library Palette.
4 Function Describes the lamp function controlled by
this channel.
5 Legend Shows a three-character mnemonic that
represents the channel function and
channel number.
6 GM Indicates if a channel is controlled by the
Grand-Master function.
7 to 22 Zone 1 to 15 Assigns a DMX channel to a zone. Only
the controllers that are assigned to the
checked zones can control the individual
channels. By default all zones are checked
which is the most common use.
DELETING A
LAMP
To delete a lamp from the patch, simply right click on the lamp. A popup
menu is displayed offering this option.
ZONES
When defining a patch for the system it is important to decide how you
want the fixtures to be controlled.
The most common (default) method is to have one or more panels
controlling the same zone (one zone option). Please refer to the wiring
information section in the Quick Start Guide.
If the system requires individual areas controlled by designated panels
then zones can be used to achieve this.

A Light-Switch panel can be configured to be a controller for any one
of the 15 zones. (Please refer to the Quick Start Guide)

There can be up to 30 panels controlling the same zone

Using Switch-Edit a channel can be configured so that one or more
zone controllers can control it.

All Light-Switch panels assigned to a zone will mimic the other panels
in that zone
