Defining New DMX512 Devices
The first step in creating a lightshow is to define your
light devices so that Solo Performer Show Controller
knows what lights you have. Solo Performer Show
Controller treats each DMX512 address as a separate
device, thus if a light requires 3 DMX512 addresses, 3
Solo Performer Show Controller devices will need to be
defined to fully control this one light. For example, a
light accepts lamp control commands on address 1,
speed commands on address 2, and color commands on
address 3. To control this light, a Lamp Control device is
created, as well as a Speed Control device and Color
Control device. This light will then take up three
channels in the lightshow editor window.
New DMX512 devices are created by choosing the menu
item New Device File from the Lights menu. After
choosing this menu, the Device Editor window opens. On
the Device Editor is a DMX Description Table that has two
columns. The first column, with the heading DMX, is
already filled in. This column contains the DMX512
values from 0 to 255. Next to this column is an empty
column with the heading Description. The cells in this
column may be edited by clicking in them and typing.
