DMX MODE

Using the 1 thru 3 mode dipswitches you can control the intensity, duration, rate by DMX in 7 different ways with a DMX-512 Board. The following table show how the various settings these dip switches effect the way the DMX data should be sent.

*By setting duration for a long enough period, latch on is possible

**Performance of Strobes will depend heavily on the intelligence and versatility of the DMX board when rate is set by the DMX refresh. Higher rates can be achieved if smaller data packets are sent more often.

For modes that use only 1 DMX channel, units should be addressed sequentially

For modes that use 2 DMX channels, units should be addressed at every other address For modes that use only 3 DMX channel,units should be addressed at every 3rd address

Intensity from DMX	Values from 0 to 255 are useable
	Values from 0-255 are useable Values 0
	will flash the lamp for approx. 2 milliseconds,
Duration byte from DMX	255 will flash lamp for 5 seconds on AC 230V
	50 Hz supply; On a 120 AC line with ,value 0
	will last 3 milliseconds, value 255, 4 seconds.
	Values from 0-255 are useable Values 0
	will flash the lamp every 4 seconds
Rate byte from DMX	on AC 230V 50 Hz supply; On a
	120 AC line with Value 0

will flash every 6 seconds.On a 120 AC line with transformer. The highest rate is 50 or 60 flashes per second
