Setup 33
When you patch each of these controls, you can choose the offset (or extent of variation) the DMX control
can generate, and choose which panel or panels the control should be applied to.
• Example 1: If you set the Negative Offset of a control to 100% and the Positive Offset to 0%, the DMX
channel will range from the value set on the P3-100 GUI down to 0 (the DMX channel can take the control
down to zero, but it will not take the control higher than the current value).
• Example 2: If you set the Negative Offset of a control to 50% and the Positive Offset to 50% as well, the
DMX channel will range from (current value + 50%) down to (current value - 50%).
Each segment control you create can be assigned to a segment using the Target Type and Target
drop-down lists to apply the control to a single panel, a group of panels or all panels:
• If you choose Fixture as the Target Type, the Target drop-down menu will contain a list of panels together
with their numbers in the installation. Select either All or an individual panel to apply the control to.
• If you choose Group as the Target Type, the Target drop-down menu will contain a list of the groups you
have created in the installation. If you have given personalized names to the groups (under Group
Properties in the Setup view), these will appear in the list. Otherwise groups will be listed as Group 1,
Group 2, etc. in the order you created them. Select either All or an individual group to apply the control to.
Control Sets
Control Sets allow you to patch a predefined set of controls (DMX channels) in a predefined order. These
predefined sets of controls match with fixtures / personalities in the fixture database of your lighting control
system. Please contact your lighting control system (lighting desk) manufacturer if the P3-100 Fixtures are
not yet available in your fixture database.
Global Control Sets allow you to create global controls that are applied to all panels:
• 8-bit: Uses 3 DMX channels
• 16-bit: Uses 4 DMX channels
Segment Control Sets allow you to create controls that are applied to a segment:
• Basic 8-bit: Excludes panel position adjustment and rotation, uses 4 DMX channels
• Basic 16-bit: Excludes panel position adjustment and rotation, uses 8 DMX channels
• Extended 8-bit: Includes panel position adjustment and rotation, uses 7 DMX channels
• Extended 16-bit: Includes panel position adjustment and rotation, uses 14 DMX channels
