Controller operation
The controller works in accordance with a preloaded configuration: in
response to relevant events it executes the programmed actions that can turn
on or off the selected configuration items. Triggering events and starting
configuration elements is done in the master controller. Expansion modules
only have additional DMX outputs.
8.1 Calculation of outputs values
The value on DMX output depends on currently run scenes, programs,
masks and shows, and the settings of the DMX output channels, and the
activated signal transmission from the input.
For each output channel, the highest value of this channel from all
running scenes, programs and shows is taken into account. The scenes and
programs are affected by their “
master
” parameters. In addition, the calculated
value is modified by the “
master
” zone parameter to which a given channel
belongs.
This calculated value passes through the limitations set by the currently
running masks and limitations set for various DMX output channels.
If signal transmission from one input is turned on, the depending on
the settings, the value for the output channel is taken directly from the input
or merged with a value calculated by the controller in accordance with
the pre-set function.
The controller calculates and sends to the output as many channels
as there are set in the settings of the DMX output in the configuration.
