2.2.6 Connecting Multiple DLP LightCrafter's to One PC

By changing DLP LightCrafter's IP address, it is possible to control multiple EVMs from a single computer.

2. Follow the steps in Section 2.2.5 to set a unique IP addresses for the connected EVM.

3. Disconnect and turn off the EVM.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each DLP LightCrafter.
