AL DRIVER 800
- CHANNEL AND LOAD SETTINGS (DMX AND DALI)
When either the
DMX
or
DALI
modes are selected, you can determine how the ten ports are
grouped and applied to the control addresses using the CHANNEL setting. Together with
the LOAD setting (which determines how the contacts of each port are used: RGB, RGBW, Ai
Dim, etc.), these two key settings determine the total number of control addresses required.
