[About]
When [About] is pressed when the command line is clear, the CIA presents the following inform-
ation:
System address count
Software version
Fixture library version
Copyright notifications
Device name
Assigned as (Primary/Backup/Client/Offline)
User ID
Priority (ACN and Net2)
IP Address(es)
Number of defined parameters
Number of patched addresses
Number of unpatched defined parameters
Number of pixel mapping addresses
Number of patched channels
Number of cues (The number of cues is a count across all cue lists. Multipart cues are only
counted once.)
Allowed output addresses
There are also buttons for {What's New} (on thenext page) and [About] System (on thenext page).
Parameters and Addresses
The defined parameters field references the number of parameters that have been defined in patch.
This includes parameters that have been patched to output addresses and those that have not.
The field below defined parameters, patched addresses, only calculates the number of addresses
that have been used in patch (which counts toward available outputs).
The unpatched defined parameters field is useful because even unpatched, but defined, parameters
must be displayed and calculated in the fade engine. If you are running a large show, it is helpful to
delete defined, but unpatched channels. This is where the [Query] {Unpatched} command is helpful.
Allowed Output Addresses
Allowed Output Addresses is a range or ranges of addresses that can be assigned to limit the num-
ber of output addresses. Allowed Output Addresses is a setting in the ECU. Go to Set-
tings>Network>Output Protocols>Allowed Output Addresses to make changes if needed.
Note: If you have created ranges for the Allowed Output Addresses, those will display in
[About] as well.
