ETC Element - Using Device List

Patch 109
Renaming Text Fields in Patch
You can rename the text fields. By default, the text fields are named {Text 1} through {Text 10}.
Text fields 1 through 10 display in the Patch display. Renaming those fields will rename the
columns associated with them in the Patch display.
•
{Text 1} [Label] <Position> will rename the text 1 field to Position.
Using Device List
The Device List is used to discover, configure, and monitor compatible Remote Device
Management (RDM) and network devices. RDM allows for bi-directional communication
between a RDM compatible device, such as a lighting fixture, and your desk.
Two lists, dimmer and RDM, make up the device list.
The dimmer list is the area of patch that handles setting up dimmer feedback from CEM+,
CEM3, and FDX 2000/ 3000. You can also do some configuration of dimmers from this list.
The RDM List is the area of patch that handles RDM feedback with devices. You can also do
some configuration of devices from this list. Once RDM compatible devices have been patched,
they keep communicating with the console to allow you to know when things like blown lamps
happen or if a device goes offline for some reason. See RDM Device List (on page111)
The Device List displays all discovered devices during the current session and all devices that
have been stored in the show file.
Note: Consoles only support RDM devices that are connected through a Gadget,
Local I/O, or external ACN gateway (running version 5.1 or higher).
Dimmer List for CEM+, CEM3, and FDX 2000/3000
Note: For Dimmer Feedback, these software versions are required: CEM+ v3.0 and
newer, CEM3 v1.3.1 and newer, and FDX v3.4.0 and newer.
To use the Dimmer Feedback area of the Device List, you must first enable feedback. In the
network tab of the ECU, when using CEM+ or CEM3, make sure {Sensor/ FDX3000 Feedback} is
enabled, or when using FDX 2000/ 3000, make sure that {Sensor/ FDX3000 Feedback} or
{FDX2000 Feeback} is enabled. The default setting is disabled for both. See Interface Protocols
(on page416)
Open the Dimmer Feedback display while in the Patch display by pressing {Device List}>
{Dimmers}. When the dimmer list is opened, the dimmers will be displayed in Patch by Address
mode.
