7. RDM 
This fixture is ready for RDM operation.RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications 
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and 
status monitoring. 
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting 
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications for 
DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive 
messages from specific moving lights. 
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.
