different menus, for 4 levels of application:

Menu 0 displays the status of the DMX address, and Patch
INFO, but without access to modifications
•
Menu 1 opens up basic functions such as patching of DMX
addresses, dimmer laws, dimmer test and flash
•
Menu 2 provides advanced functions

the starting DMX address

be maintained after power-up.
