the menu system. When this is used, the remaining 5
channels ("B", "C", "D","E", "F") are set to the next
consecutive addresses.
During normal operation the LED display toggles
back and forth between
PACA and the current pack
address such as
P001 . Use the and buttons
to set different pack address. Push SELECT to
save the setting when done.
If you set the pack address to
P000 then the unit
will run in soft patch mode. In this mode you can set
ANY channel of the pack (A - F) to ANY DMX
address (000-512) by using the dimmer setup (
dSEt)
menus. See
CHANNEL ADDRESSING for details.
