•
Once the desk has assigned the fixture or dimmer, it will ask you if you wish to
assign another. The desk will tell you when all RDM devices have been
found.
•
Fixtures which have been loaded from RDM will have RDM displayed after
their fixture number in the main Assign Fixtures screen.
RDM Options
If any RDM fixtures or dimmers have been assigned, then an <RDM Options> menu
will appear in the main Assign Fixtures screen. This allows the assigned RDM
devices to be viewed. Select <RDM Options> and press ENTER to go into the
menu.
When the RDM channel or fixture is selected, the cursor keys are used to select
other RDM devices. As each RDM device is viewed for the first time, it is polled over
RDM to check if it is Present or Missing.
In RDM Options, the DMX address of each RDM device is displayed. If the DMX
address has been updated on the desk, but not set on the RDM device, an
exclamation mark
! will be displayed after the channel or fixture number.
The following additional information is also displayed for each RDM device:
Fixtures Current personality (mode) of the device
Multi-channel dimmers
that can be individually
patched
None (each channel is shown
separately)
Multi-channel dimmers
that are block patched
Number of channels on the dimmer
To identify the device, select <Identify> and press ENTER. The exact response of the
device is dependant on the device manufacturers implementation of this RDM
function.
To delete the RDM information for the selected device, without changing any memory
or submaster data, first select the device in RDM Options, then hold the CLEAR
button for a couple of seconds. Deleting just the RDM information for a device allows
another RDM device of the same type to be assigned in it's place, which is useful
when swapping out a faulty fixture in a rig for example.
Rig Check
Selecting <Rig Check> and pressing ENTER will check communications with every
RDM device over RDM. This communications check uses the RDM
Identify Off
message, so it can also be used as a quick way of clearing any stuck identify states
on RDM devices. When the Rig Check is complete, the results will be displayed on
the Main LCD.
