User Manual

VX76 BASIC PROFILE EDITOR USER MANUAL 5
Parameter
13 A DMX channel, usually to be associated with a console Parameter. Selected Parameters are indicated in blue.
[13.1] [Img1Callout13.1]
DMX Address
14 The address of the DMX channel, sometimes called the DMX Offset. Changing this value amidst other values will
automatically re-arrange the parameters, and sometimes prompt the user to auto-increment following channels if
necessary.
Bits
15 Toggle button to selects whether the DMX channel is an 8 or 16 bit control. Note that non-contiguous 16 Bit DMX
channels are not supported by the Basic Profile Editor.
Parameter
16 Drop-down list allowing the user to assign the DMX channel to a console parameter. This will set not only what
encoder the channel is controlled by on the console, but also which filter group it belongs to in the function and
timing filters. Only one DMX channel can be assigned to each console parameter. If necessary, you can assign a
DMX channel to a parameter of "None," which will give the user no control over it in the console.
Label
17 The seven-character label of the DMX channel shown on the encoder and in the filters. A suggested label is
provided after choosing a Parameter.
Home Value
18 The DMX value the channel will "home" to when unchanged or reset.
Encoder
19 Area containing all of the encoder settings for the attached parameter.
Encoder Turns
20 Specifies the number of encoder turns it takes to go from the minimum to the maximum value of the DMX
channel. Different values are available for 8 and 16 bit channels, and indiscriminate values between those
provided are not available.
Reverse Orientation
21 Reverses the directionality of the encoder so that counter-clockwise rotation increases the value and clockwise
rotation decreases the value.
Wrap
22 Makes the encoder operate in a continuous loop so that once you reach the end of the range it starts back at the
opposite value.
Shortcuts
23 Assigns the seven-character label and value for the top and bottom encoder "defaults," allowing the user to
quickly recall a specific value within the encoder's range. Values must constrain to the bitrate of the encoder (0-
255 or 0-65535) with the added possible values of "min" and "max."
Attributes Panel
24 Contains extra information about the profile not directly related to the DMX footprint.
Shutter
25 Specifies the DMX channel and values to be associated with the console front panel's "Open" and "Close" shutter
buttons.
