4.4.3  DMX/MIDI (switch between DMX and MIDI input)

Here the digital serial input can be selected: DMX512 or MIDI.
MIDI accepts "program change" commands 0...13. (e.g. used for a MIDI footswitch).
The program change commands call up the internal memories, chase or "OFF"
(see Memory menu 4.3).

4.4.4  MIDI CHANNEL

The MIDI channel can be selected between 1...16.

4.4.5  CLEAR CURVES (set curves to linear, default)

Deletes both free programmable control curves (set to linear) (see 4.4.8). Therefore the cursor is set
on this line, the right button is pressed and the encoder turned simultaneously.

Attention!

 The curves will be deleted and can not be recalled! Be careful using this function, because

it may be hard work to reprogram the curves.

4.4.6  USER MODE (cut down the operation of the dimmer)

With this function the dimmer function can be cut down in 3 steps:

-SUPER

"Supervisor" means, that all functions can be used.

-NORM

"Normal User" means, that in the Channel Menu only the DMX address can be pro-
grammed. The Memory Menu is switched off.
This mode should be used, when the dimmer must be protected but the test function must
remain usable and the DMX address must be programmable. (Quick-Rental / Tour).

-LOCK

The dimmer is completely locked and can not be operated with the buttons or encoder.
The middle button is an exception because it allows the entry into the Setup Menu
by pressing it for 5 seconds.
Comment: The DMX as well as the analogue input works normally as before.

4.4.7  DELETE ALL (set all to default)

"Delete All" deletes all memories, chases, DMX addresses, curves, etc. The DMX address will be set
to "1" and the "Block" Mode is activated. Limit is set to 100%, preheat to zero.

Attention!

 All data will be deleted ! Be careful in using this function, because it may be hard work to

reprogram all functions.
