Strobe and Full Level Outputs
Channels default to proportional output. To set an individual
channel for Strobe outputs, press the required channel Flash
button to turn on that channel’s Preview light. Any channels
already set up for strobe operation will have their Preview
lights on.
The same procedure is used for setting Full Level outputs
(Full Level outputs are On / Off only).

Step display shows the 100’s, the 10’s and 1’s are shown in
the memory display. 512 channels will be transmitted at turn
on, mode changes, patch changes and page changes. At
least 96 channels will always be transmitted. If more than 96
channels are patched the DMX sends up to last channels
patched. NB 128 ch transmitted per 40ms. 512 ch takes
160ms.
* Fast DMX
The Default is set to . DMX is sent at its maximium
possible rate. With DMX set to gaps are inserted
between each DMX channel data byte. This slows down the
DMX transmission enabling some recievers to operate
correctly.
* Clearing Memories
There is a second or so delay before CL and RS are started.
It is not possible to clear the channel memories and the MIDI,
DMX Patch, Full Level and Strobe settings at the same time.
Two operations, CL and RS must be performed. Each is
totally independent of the other.
* Split Dipless
The Preset B master will only invert if the Grand Master is at
zero.
