Highlight a specific output channel (click it's value) to see it's control function which is displayed in the
status bar at the bottom of the dialog.
Overwriting the DMX output values
Value overwrite enabled
The DMX output monitor allows DMX output values to be overwritten directly, without the need to
configure a fixture first. The output value is written directly to the DMX channel without regards to any
patches made with the global patch dialog. DMX output value overwriting must be enabled from the
Preferences menu. To overwrite DMX output values, select (highlight) the relevant DMX channel(s) and
use either the virtual fader or value field to enter/modify the DMX value. Click CLR to remove value
overwrite on the selected channels. DMX output channels that has their value overwritten displays the
value in green text.
Note: The DMX output can only be overwritten this way as long as the DMX output monitor is open
and DMX value overwriting is enabled. As soon as the monitor dialog is closed, the DMX values will
revert to non-overwritten values.
Searching DMX output channels
The DMX output monitor contains a tool that can be used to search for a specific DMX channel by
sending specific DMX values to specific channels in a search pattern. The tool is handy when trying to
locate DMX equipment that is connected and addressed but not yet configured and the address has
not been noted down. The tool uses a binary search algorithm that is capable of locating a specific
channel out of 2048 channels in a maximum of 11 'tries'. Click Tools in the menu to open the search
channel dialog and setup a channel search pattern.
