6.2.7 Function overwrite a DMX channel
This function simplifies the configuration if DMX input channels and output channels are
used.
DMX channels in a DMX universe are unique.
For that reason it would be a conflict if you try to use a DMX channel as an output channel
and input channel.
To avoid unnecessary manual deleting of a DMX output channel and manually adding it
again to the DMX input the overwrite function prompts a question how to proceed with this
channel.
Example
As shown in chapter
"6.3.4 DMX in patching"
we intend to put the DMX output channel on
an externaly connected dimmer console for live adjustment of the gel.
Expert mode DMX OUT
address = function
add DMX channel
010
=
DIM OUT 1
012 = fix 000
013 = fix 000
014 = fix 000
015 = fix 000
016 = fix 000
Expert mode DMX IN
address > function
add input channel
001: Patch 014
exit
given DMX OUTPUT configuration
We add an DMX input channel using
DMX channel 14 for live GEL adjustment
1.
In the expert mode of
DMX IN
select (or add a new channel) for
DMX input channel 001 > patch to DMX channel 014.

3.
Because channel 014 is already used by DMX OUT an alert
comes up:

If "OK" is choosen the
DMX OUT
channel 014 will be deleted.
Instead
DMX IN
channel 014 will be inserted as a patch for fader
#1 (DMX channel 001) of the dimmer console.
Now you can adjust the GEL with fader #001 live.

The "Overwrite"-function works in both directions, DMX IN>OUT and DMX OUT>IN
This will delete
