Adjusting Continuous Trait Parameters
You can modify the following parameters for continuous traits:
•
Channel.
Determines which channel of the DMX512 stream should be used for
this trait. This is a relative number that is added on to the base address of the
fixture once it is assigned to a
Fixture Select
button.
If fixture 1 is assigned to DMX512 channel 20 and a trait is assigned to
channel 1, it will end up being assigned to channel 20, not 21.
•
Size.
Determines whether the trait will use one or two channels of the DMX512
stream. Choices are 8-Bit or 16-Bit. 16-bit is mostly used for pan and tilt of
high-resolution fixtures.
•
Invert.
Inverts a continuous trait such as pan so that it moves in the opposite
direction as intended.
Inverting can also be done at assignment time on a per trait basis.
