6.3 Unit
A DMX channel can be set between 0 (minimum) and 255 (maximum). The
DMX levels are shown in these decimal values if the UNIT is set to DEC. When
UNIT is set to % the levels are shown in the range of 0% and 100%. The UNIT
setting also influences how you enter the values via the Command Line interface.
E.g. if you would like to set a channel to the maximum level you would type in
value ’255’ when the unit is set DEC and you would type in ’100’ when it was
is set to
6.4 Programming a Cue
First enable the EDIT mode and select the desired Cue by using the GO+ and
GO- buttons. You see the number of the current Cue in the bottom left-hand
corner of the screen. Use the command line interface (CLI) to change the value
of the channel. The CLI is known from theatre lighting consoles and provides a
fast way of setting values for one or multiple channels. Examples of the CLI’s
usage are:
Command Function
1 @ 50 <ENTER>
Sets channel 1 at 50% (or at DMX value 50 when
DEC unit is selected)
1 + 2 @ <FULL>
Sets channel 1 and 2 at maximum value
1 <THRU> 3 @ 0
Sets channels 1 till 3 at minimum value
1 <THRU> 3 + 5 @ 0
Sets channels 1, 2,3, and 5 at minimum value
<ALL> @ 100 <ENTER>
Sets channels 1 till 1024 at 100% (or at DMX
value 100 when DEC unit is selected)
1 @ + 10 <ENTER>
Increases channel 1 value with 10
<ALL> @ 20 <ENTER>
Decreases all channels’ value by 20
6.5 Capture a Cue
Alternatively to programming a Cue through the CLI it is also possible to record
a Cue from the DMX input port or incoming Art-Net universes. To capture from
DMX, simply connect your external DMX-512 source and set it to output the
desired Cue, then press the DMX Capture button. Only the first 512 channels
will be recorded, channels 513 till 1024 are left unchanged. For capturing from
Art-Net please make sure that the universe settings for incoming Art-Net match
the universes at your Art-Net source. Press the Art-Net Capture button and
all 1,024 channels are recorded in the Cue.
6.6 Timing
You can specify the cross-fade time between two Cues by setting the Cue’s fade
time (expressed in seconds). Also you can determine for how long the Cue
