Control address selection
The Cyclo 04 DMX requires 4 DMX control channels. The DMX address,
also known as the start channel, is the first control channel used. It is a
logical address to which control instructions are sent. In this way a
controller, can send instructions to a fixture, or fixtures, at a particular
address. For example when using four channels of control data, the Cyclo
04 DMX reads the data on the start channel (DMX address) and the next
three channels. If the DMX address is set to 100, the Imager uses channels
100, 101, 102, 103, and 104.
Be sure to allow adequate channels when setting the control address.
If
control channels for one fixture overlap control channels for another fixture,
then one of the fixtures will receive the wrong commands. Two Cyclo 04
DMXs may share the same address if they are to respond identically. They
will receive the same commands and individual control will be impossible.
The default factory set control address is ‘1’.
