It is also possible to save into a file the scenery currently 
displayed in the window (button To File); each file can con-
tain only one scenery, thus, if more sceneries have to be 
saved, it is required to create more files; these ones must 
have .DMX extension.
To recall a scenery from a file and display it on the window, 
use the button From File.

On the right side of the window can be found the following 
controls:

Read   and   Program  respectively   to   read   the   current 
situation of ModDMX and report it into the window and 
to transfer the values currently displayed on the win-
dow to ModDMX module 

ID & Ver. To show the FW version of ModDMX module

From File and To File respectively to open a file con-
taining  a  scenery  and   to  save  the  scenery  currently 
displayed in the window into a file

All '0' to reset to 0 all the sliders

Include All and Exclude All respectively to include or 
exclude all channels from a scenery

Mapping

MCP Ide allows to show the map of ModDMX module as in 
the following figure:

The first text box on the top (1 in the example) is the ad-
dress of ModDMX which is communicating with MCP Ide.

Code

  is the value of the code to be sent to to ModDMX 

module (high byte of the Word to be sent, see the bus com-
mand table).

Val/Sc/Ch

 is the value or the scenery number or the chan-

nel associated to the just explained Code (low byte of the 
Word to be sent to the module).
The  box  DEC  allows   to  change   the  entering  method   for 

Code

  and  

Val/Sc/Ch

  among   decimal   and   hexadecimal; 

with the mouse pointer on this box, right click and perform 
the desired choice.

The command to the module (

Code

  +  

Val/Sc/Ch

) will be 

sent only after the value for  

Val/Sc/Ch

  has been written 

and confirmed by Enter on the keyboard.
As usual, the symbol of the module in the map will have 
green background if it is connected and properly operating, 
on the contrary the background will be in red color.
