You can assign any dimmer patched to an 8-bit channel a proportional patch level and a
profile. In that case, the proportional level is calculated first, then the profile is applied to
determine the DMX output for that dimmer.
There are 33 available profiles. Profile 0 is the default profile (linear) and is not editable.
The remaining 32 profiles are editable, with profiles 1-9 given default non-linear curves, and
10-32 left at linear for editing. You can view and edit profiles in the Profile display in the
Setup menu.
