Setup
COLORado PXL Bar 8 User Manual Rev. 1
Master/Slave Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows an COLORado PXL Bar 8 (the master) to control one or more
COLORado PXL Bar 8 products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORado PXL Bar 8
becomes the master when running an auto program, or by being in Static mode.
You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
