• Full 8-bit resolution for decimal and hexadecimal display modes

Channel Finder Function

• Displays dimmer number of dimmer that is tracking up or down
• Holds last dimmer number shown for 2 seconds

Channel Test Function

• Transmits test level to single selected dimmer, to one of 30 dimmer groups or to all dimmers simultaneously
• Quickly scrolls through all 512 dimmers
• Test level can be raised or lowered to any desired value
• Automatically yields to any other external source of DMX

Scene Record Function

• Each scene may contain up to 512 dimmer levels
• Memory retention greater than 40 years without battery power

Scene Edit Function

• Edits any of 30 scenes in nonvolatile EEPROM memory
• Dimmer levels may be independently raised and lowered to any desired value
• Scenes are edited with "live" output to DMX equipment
• Automatically yields to any other external source of DMX

Scene Output Function

• Transmits any of 30 scenes from nonvolatile EEPROM memory
• Easily steps from scene to scene
• Automatically yields to any other external source of DMX
• Acts as a console backup if external DMX signal is lost due to console failure

Data Length Function

• Displays the number of dimmers being transmitted by the console

Update Rate Function

• Calculates the speed at which console is transmitting new dimmer levels to the stage

• Allows test to be performed while data cables are installed and/or during show
• Displays accumulated total of errors received

Display Type Function

• Changes the display type used for showing dimmer levels in the Display Channel, Channel Test and Scene Edit functions
• Three display modes
