RDM Device List

The RDM Device List is the main RDM Window. This is a standard list of purely standard RDM
information. It is the same for all devices.

This list allows you to identify devices, change basic settings of the device (like start address,
personality or mode) patch to Cobalt channels and access deeper settings of devices, if that
functionality is supported by those devices.

This list also shows conflict or mismatch states in red. In the case of overlapping device addresses,
you must solve these overlaps manually by choosing and entering new starting addresses for those
fixtures. RDM will send the new address setting to the fixture for you.
