Unpatching Channels
There are two methods for unpatching
channels manually.
1. Move to the DMX Address field of
the required dimmer channel.
Enter a DMX address of 0 (zero)
or press the CLEAR button.
2. Using the mouse, left click on the
corresponding DMX address in
the DMX map.
In both cases the dimmer channel is
unpatched and the channel table and
DMX map are updated.
If a duplicate is unpatched, it is
removed from the channel table. Any
other instances are shuffled down
accordingly.
Unused Dimmer Channels
An ‘unused’ dimmer channel is defined
as one that is not displayed in the CDD
and PW or processed by the desk
software.
To make a dimmer channel unused:
Move to the DMX Address field, enter
‘999’ and press the ENTER key.
The DMX Address field shows ‘N/A’ to
indicate that the channel is not used.
Associating Channels
A dimmer channel may be associated
with up to three other dimmer channels
or fixtures.
For example, a scroller fixture may be
associated with its lamp, or up to four
separate dimmer channels may be
associated together.
Dimmer channels and fixtures are
associated with a dimmer channel by
entering information into the data table.
1. Select a dimmer channel to be
associated and move to the
Associated field .
2. To associate a dimmer channel:
simply enter the channel number
in the field.
To associate a fixture: press the
FIXTURE button followed by the
fixture number.
If more than one channel or
fixture is to be associated, enter
each channel number or fixture
number separated by a ‘+’ (AND).
If the data entered is valid the channel
table is updated accordingly.
If the data is invalid, eg. a channel or
fixture number entered is already in an
association, a warning message is
displayed.
To remove an association: enter 0
(zero) in the
Associated field for a
channel which is in the association.
Find Channel Function
This function provides a quick method
for finding out which dimmer channel,
fixture or auxiliary is patched to a
particular DMX channel.
1. Using the mouse, right click on
the required DMX channel
number in the DMX map, and
select the
Find Channel option.
If a dimmer channel is patched to the
DMX channel, the highlight bar will
automatically move to the dimmer
channel number in the channel table.
If a fixture or auxiliary is patched to the
selected DMX channel, a warning
message is displayed indicating what
is patched to that channel.
If nothing is patched to the selected
DMX channel, a warning message is
displayed indicating that nothing is
patched to that channel.
NOTE
Associated Channels and Fixtures
In the Assign Channels screen, dimmer
channel and fixture associations are shown in
the right hand column. Fixture numbers are
prefixed with ‘F’ and multiple associations
are indicated by ‘+’ between the channel or
fixture numbers.
Eg, if dimmer channel 1 was associated with
dimmer channels 2 and 3 and fixture 8, the
Associated column for channel 1 would read
2+3+F8.
