Custom DMX Personalities: About Design Mode
DesignmodeallowstheusertocustomizetheirownDMXproleor“personality.”For
instance, the built-in 16-bit mode features the familiar Pan/Pan-Fine/Tilt/Tilt-Fine approach
for channels 1-4. However, with Design Mode, the user may specify the channel arrange-
ment in any way they choose. For instance, you might set Pan as channel 15, Tilt as chan-
nel 16, and elect not to use the Pan-Fine/Tilt-Fine channels at all. Or you may disable the
remote reset function to avoid accidental deployment.
Pretty cool, hey? And, it’s really easy to use. Just enter the “Design Mode Set” menu
function,and1.)thetotalnumberofchannelstoassigntoeachxture,and2.)specifya
channel number for each function. If you do not wish to enable a function, simply leave its
channel value at “000.” Bam - your own custom built DMX personality!
