124 Ion Operations Manual
Note: Rack numbers and dimmer numbers need to be unique for Ion to properly recognize
them. For CEM+, dimmers also need to be patched to different sACN addresses.
With a dimmer or dimmers selected, you can edit various dimmer settings in the property view,
which will display in the CIA. Items with a caret (>) are editable. When multiple dimmers are selected
together for editing, an “*” will show for data that is different between the selected dimmers.
FDX dimmers will not display data for the following:
Recorded Load
Actual Load
Rack Dimmer Source
Threshold
Scale Minimum
Preheat Enable
Preheat Timing
AF Enable
Note: When dimmers are discovered, they are not automatically attached to patched chan-
nels in Ion; you must attach a dimmer to a channel. See Patching Discovered Dimmers and
RDM Devices (on page126)
RDM Device List
Before you can start using the RDM Device List, you must first enable {RDM} for the appropriate
DMXports in the Local I/O ECU tab or for the appropriate ethernet ports in the Network ECU tab. By
default RDM is disabled. See Local DMX Outputs (on page466) or Interface Protocols (on page458)
If using Network RDM, this must be done via an ETC Net3 Gateway and RDM must also be enabled
on the DMX ports of the Gateway. The Gateway needs to be running version 5.1 or newer.
Open the RDM Device List while in the patch display by pressing {Device List}> {RDM}.
You will need to make sure that {Device Discovery} is enabled.
