So in combination with the start address a block of channels can be set anywhere
in the DMX data. As with the Start Address menu if the block length and start
address are set so channels are being lost the screen will warn you.

Setting the random to OFF switches out the random number engine.
With the F451 in line with a controller incoming data will still be passed through and
can still be displayed on the DMX display function.

Using the UP and DOWN buttons the maximum level of all the random words can
be set.

Using the up and down keys the minimum level of all the random words can be set.
So the minimum level gives a ‘preheat’ value. The F451 will block maximum levels
below the minimum, and minimum levels above the maximum and warn you – you
are being very silly.
DMX Button
Pressing the DMX button will display the output of the F451:
0 0 1
0 0 2
0 0 3
0 0 4
0 0 5
R
2 2 %
5 3 %
9 1 % 1 4 % 6 5 % P
Using the DMX button will scroll channels left and the SET key will scroll channels
right. Pressing them both will set the first channel to 001.
The display shows all the DMX data being sent to the DMX output so incoming
DMX combined with the random levels will be shown.
Pressing the Function button will take you back to the function last set. So it is easy
to toggle between the Rate control and the output display. The upper right of the
display will show either M or R in the top line for Merge or Replace and P for
proportional or H for ‘hard’ limit in the lower right– see limits below.
SET BUTTON
SET Button Menu Loop – Pressing the Set button will take you around the menu
loop as follows:
SET FOR REPLACE / MERGE
STORE SETTINGS
RECALL SETTINGS
RESET TO DEFAULTS
PROPORTIONAL or HARD LIMIT
On first entry the display will show if the F451 is in merge or replace. (Replace is
the unit’s default). Pressing the UP button will toggle the selection.
