Patch
The Patch Tablet page is used to create the soft patch used
by
the
channels
to
control
DMX
levels
or
dimmers.
The
screen
displays
the
channel
numbers
(
1 ‐36
) as square buttons. The
currently
available
dimmer
or
DMX
address
is
shown
in
the
lower
left
hand
corner
of
the
display
along
with
the
output
value
of
the
patched
channel.
Pressing
“Last”
or
“Next”
steps you through the
dimmers
or
DMX
addresses.
The
currently
patched
channel
will
highlight
in
Blue.
You
can
select
any
other
button
to
patch
the
DMX
address
to
another
channel,
or
you
can
press
the
current
patched
channel
button
to
unpatch
the
channel
and
set
the
DMX
address
to
a
level
of
00.
You
can
patch
as
many
dimmers
as
you
wish
to
any
channel,
but
a
dimmer
may
only
be
patched
to
one
channel
at
a
time.
Dimmer & Channel Check
The
Dimmer
and
Channel Check
function
cycles
through
dimmers
or
channels
in
sequential
order.
You
set
the
check
level using the
Check Fader.
It forces the
selected
channel
or
dimmer
to
the
check
level
by
overriding
the
fader
level
in
effect
at
the
time.
When
you
use
“
Next
” or “
Last
” to
cycle
on
to
the
next
dimmer
or
channel
it
releases
the
previous
selection
to
the
established
channel
fader
output
level.
Fader Use
The
Master Fader
controls all fader levels
generated by the
Channel Faders
. It is a proportional master
meaning that the channel levels are relative to the
Master Fader
value. If the
Channel Fader
is at 80% and the
Master Fader
is at
50% then the channel output level will be 50% of 80%, or 40%.
The NETport LCD Display
The
NETPort
LCD
display
shows
the
firmware
version
and
I.P.
address
of
your
NETport.
It
will
look
like
:
NETport v0.6
