Use this dialog to set up the level control definitions and Id for the Scanner 1 profile.
Scanner 1 level control
Notes
The Scanner 1 profile level control implements up to 8 channels of 8-bit DMX control. Channels may
specifically be allocated to intensity functions, pan and tilt, color and gobo Controls. All other fixture
functions must be programmed via the level control.
Configuring the Channel Control
It is possible to label each of the levels with an individual Caption. Highlight the line(s) in the channel
table and type the new caption in the level caption field.
Reducing the number of required DMX channels.
By default the Scanner 1 level control has all 8 DMX levels enabled and visible. If the actual fixture
uses less than 8 control channels, disabling the unused channels will free them to be used by other
fixtures. To disable the unused channels, highlight the channels in the channel table click disable,
the disabled channels will now be available for other fixtures when setting DMX addresses in the
fixture configuration dialog. Note that channels that are marked as unused this way are not detected
by the auto-address feature.
Selection Id
The selection Id is a small optional 'tag' that allows LightJockey to distinguish between different
'flavors' of user-defined scanner 1 profiles - the tag is a 4-character user definable value. Use this tag
to ensure that values are not sent to selected fixtures that are not compatible with the currently
selected master fixture by entering a different Id for different Scanner 1 fixtures (same fixture type
should have the same Id).
Note that intensity and pan/tilt position controls per definition are cross fixture compatible and will
always work across different fixture types.
