Patch 119

[1] [Thru] [9] [6] [At] [1] [Enter]

Now you wish to dimmer double 1 through 12 of your Sensor+ rack and you want these to

be channels 97 through 108. To patch this, press:

[9] [7] [Thru] [1] [0] [8][At] [1] {B} [Enter]

Channels 97 through 108 are patched to address 1 through 12 B, while channels 1 through

12 are now patched to address 1 through 12 A.

To remove the dimmer doubling from these addresses, you must first press [Format] to

enter Address mode and then press:

[1] [Thru] [1] [2] {NoDimDbl} [Enter]

Addresses 1 through 12 have been returned to single dimmer modes and channels 97

through 108 are now unpatched.

By default, doubled dimmers start with an offset network DMX address value of 20000. Therefore,

in the above example, address 1B (channel 97) is actually controlled by network DMX address

20001. Address 2B is actually controlled by network DMX address 20002 and so on. This offset

matches the default offset in CEM+ / CEM3 when configuring your Sensor dimmer rack for dimmer

doubling. To change the default offset value, see {Dim. Dbl. Offset} (on page153).

Note: For Sensor Classic racks using dimmer doubling, the offset value should be set to

256.

Note: Dimmer doubling needs to be turned on per DMX port in the ECU. See Local DMX

Outputs (on page489).

Note: There is also a Dimmer Doubling setting for Net3 Gateways with DMX outputs. This

is used with Sensor racks that are connected via DMX. The Gateway must be properly con-

figured.

Moving and Copying Channels

Channels can be moved from one location to another within patch.

[1] [Copy To] [Copy To] [2] - moves channel 1's data to channel 2. Channel 2's data is replaced

by channel 1's. Channel 1 is unpatched.

[1][CopyTo] [CopyTo] [2][Part][2] - creates a part 2 for channel 2 and moves channel 1's data

to the new part. Channel 2's data remains in part 1. Channel 1 is unpatched.

The second press of the [Copy To] key changes the command from CopyTo into MoveTo.

Note: Move To always impacts the entire show.

The following options are available with [Copy To]:
