DMX sheet.

The DMX sheet is used for viewing DMX channels and their values. This is the main window:

The window consists of three different sections. In the top of the window there is a bar with one round yellow buttons that gives you access to the “DMX Sheet Options”. Read about it in the section called “DMX Sheet Options”. It also tells you that you are looking at the DMX Sheet.
The middle is the actual DMX Sheet, where the DMX channels and their values are displayed. The sheet always display the DMX channels current output. Here you can select channels by pressing on them or you can select multiple channels by using drag-and-drop method. Each row starts by showing you the universe number and the number of the first DMX channel in each row. If you click on this gray field you select the entire row.
At the bottom of the window you will se information on the channel you hold the mouse over. First it’s the universe and the DMX number. Next is the Channel number (Cha) and/or the Fixture number (Fix), followed by the name in quotation marks. Then it displays the fixture type in brackets. Last is the attribute assigned to that DMX channel.

Colors in the sheet.

In a DMX sheet there are different colors .

For the values the colors are:

• Green: The channel got a lower value then in the previous cue. The value comes from the “selected” sequence(s).

• Blue: The channel got a higher value then in the previous cue. The value comes from the “selected” sequence(s).

• Red: The channel is stored with the same value as in the previous cue. The value comes from the “selected” sequence(s).

• Pink: The channel is not stored in the current cue, and the value is tracking. The value comes from the “selected” sequence(s).

• Yellow: The channel gets a value from a sequence that’s not the “selected” sequence(s).

• White: The value is in the programmer.

• Gray: The channel only gets its default value.

For the backgrounds the colors are:

• Dark blue background: This is the standard background.

• Turquoise background: The channel gets a value from a preset.

• Red background: The value is in the programmer and will be stored if you store or update.

• Blue frame: The channel is not affected by the “Master”.

• Yellow frame: The channel is selected.

DMX Sheet Options.

You can access the options by pressing the round yellow button in the upper left corner.

Sorting & Readout:

Here you have the option to choose how your channel sheet looks.

The “Readout” determents how your values display.

• Percent +: Displays the percentages and as much as 3 little dots next to the number. Because the total range of one DMX channel is 256 steps and the percentage only displays 100 steps; the dots shows you more precisely where in the 256 steps the value are.

• Percent: Displays the value in percentage (100 steps).

• Decimal: Shows you the actual step in the DMX range (256 steps).

• Hex: This shows you in value in hexadecimal (two decimals).

With the three different font sizes you choose how big your numbers are displayed.
