Using the DMX Panel

Under the Help tab in the DMX Web Page, there is an option called ‘Launch Panel’. This opens the DMX panel, a visual representation of the 512 channels controlled by DMX. In the DMX Panel, highlighted squares will surround numbers, indicating which channels are within a fixture’s range. On the right side of the Panel, if any scripts have been created and saved, they will appear here as buttons to execute them from the DMX Panel. 

Numbers in the DMX Panel will represent the current 512 channels the DMX application is controlling. Clicking on any of the numbers within the DMX Panel allows you to edit that channel’s value. The pop-up for editing channel values changes depending on whether you are selecting channels within a fixture or not. If the number isn’t located within a fixture, it prompts the user to enter a value in the text field. If you select channels inside a fixture, then the prompt changes to allow editing of all the channels inside the fixture, including not only a text field but also a slider.
