22 Martin® ELP WW IP User Manual
Setting options by RDM
You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using a suitable RDM-compatible
controller that is connected to the installation via a DMX data link.
A full list of the RDM functions that the ELP fixture supports is given at the end of this chapter.
These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.
Scanning for RDM devices on the data link
Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan command (also
called a device discovery command) to all the devices on the data link so that the RDM controller
can identify them. I
t does this by retrieving each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This
process can take some time depending on the number of devices on the link.
Getting status and setting options by RDM
The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by RDM.
You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only,
or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM
command to all the devices on the link.
For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an individual fixture.
