3.2 - Allocating the first addressed channel
In order to receive the commands necessary to operate from a lighting console, each fixture has to be allocated a start
address. This address normally indicates the first channel used (start channel) and can be allocated following a different
criterion from that used to connect the signal line. Giotto Spot uses 18 controls channels, so during allocation, this quantity
must be borne in mind to avoid possible overlapping of other fixtures' channels, which would cause problems with the
perfect control of all the available functions. Should it be necessary, it's possible to allocate the same start channel to
several fixtures, in this case the fixtures will all follow the same commands, but can't be controlled separately.
To address fixtures correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait until it has completed reset operations and “DMX signal” appears on
the display.
2. Use the
UP/DOWN
keys to find the “Addr” menu
3. Press
ENTER
to confirm. The message on the display starts to flash.
4. Use the
UP/DOWN
keys to select the channel required.
5. Press
ENTER
to confirm.
