should be treated with caution as it allows, for example, all start addresses to be set to the
same value. NB. The device number is enumerated during discovery and numbers are
allocated in the order in which devices are discovered. The order may change when
discovery is next executed.
SUB Selects the sub-device. An RDM device may have a number of sub-devices and
Commissioner is able to access 999 sub-devices. There are two special cases of sub-device.
Zero accesses the root device. ALL indicates that all sub-devices are being controlled.
NAME When an individual device or sub-device is addressed, the name of the device or sub-
device is displayed here. If ALL devices and/or ALL sub-devices is selected, BROADCAST is
displayed in order to emphasise that pressing ENTER will affect multiple entities.
START The start address of the most recently selected device or sub-device.
FOOT The footprint of the most recently selected device or sub-device.
PERS The personality of the most recently selected device or sub-device.
PMAX The maximum number of personalities available in the most recently selected device or
sub-device.
The following examples show how these option fields are used. In the examples we are connected to
two Artistic Licence sunDial dimmers. These are 4-channels devices that have 5 personalities and 4
sub-devices. The sub-devices can accept individual start addresses and personality.
