* Before another Boost or Lightning effect can occur, the Shutter channel must
be moved to either closed or open, or the Lamp Function channel must be
moved outside the Lamp Effects range.
Dim
The Dim parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 7. The Dim parameter provides
full mechanical dimming capability without changing the color temperature or the
beam shape. The dim values range from closed (DMX value of 0) to fully open (DMX
value of 255). The Lamp Function channel, (see page 4-4), can be set to control
whether the Dimming is accomplished by lower lamp power (electronic), closing the
shutter (mechanical) or both (dual dimming). Table 4-2 describes the interaction
between the Lamp Function, Shutter and Dim Channels.
