Appendix 8 – The Fixture Editor DMX Chart tab:
The Control 8 bit channel 19 has been created in the DMX Chart window.
Channel 19: Control (cont.)
To assign control macros, open the DMX Macros
information using the specification from the manu tab and enter the relevant
facturer.
Syntax: channel @ value wait milliseconds , next command.
Complex macros
Some fixtures require more complex macros for for strike/reset/douse?. For
example a fixture might require; ch1 to 255, ch4 to 17,ch 6 to 1, ch 8 to 0, ch 11 to 0
and ch 15 to 84 and for these channels to be held for 6 seconds, and sent back to
default
In this case each command must state a wait time. The syntax is as follows:
[channel] @ [value] # [wait time in milliseconds]
So for the example above the macro would read as follows:
1@255#0;4@17#0;6@17#0;8@0#0;11@0#0;15@84#6000
That will send the specified values to all channels simultaneously and hold them
for 6 seconds.
