DMX – RDM – AUTO-ADD Menu
The DMX-RDM-AUTO-ADD menu is used to automatically and contiguously address all discovered
RDM devices from a user specified start address. This is done by reading the footprint of every root
device and using that as the start address offset for the next device.
Keys operate as follows:
LEFT and RIGHT Select desired start address.
UP and DOWN Select desired start address.
ENTER Start auto-addressing. The backlight will blip green at the end of the process to
confirm success.
FUNCT Not used.
USER 3 second press to add or remove this menu from the shortcut list.
Press ENTER to start the process. The bottom line of the display counts the number of devices that
have been set.
Once auto-addressing is completed, the bottom line shows the total number of programmed devices
and the backlight will blip green or red to indicate success or whether errors occurred.
When would I use this?
This is a quick and dirty way to ensure all devices have different and contiguous addresses. However,
you have no control over which device gets which start address. In many situations this does not
matter as the lighting console patch will make it irrelevant. If it does matter, then you need to use
DMX – RDM - PATCH Menu.
