Command line Tool
From English DMXCWiki
The Command line tool allows you to set DMX levels numerically. You must use the mouse to click the buttons on the Command line tool. A valid Command consists of: [channels]@[level]
- the set of channel number(s) you want to affect,
- an @ symbol
- the level you want the channels set to.
Examples of valid commands:
- 20+21+25@128 (Sends the value 128 to channels 20, 21 and 25)
- 1 THRU 50 - 20 @FULL (Sends the value 256 to channels 1-50, except 20)
| Button | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Digit | A channel number is specified, e.g. the right hand slider impacts on. | 27 <Enter> |
| THRU | Chooses a continuous set of channels. | 1 THRU 5 same as inputting 1+2+3+4+5 |
| + / - | Add or remove chanels | 1 THRU 50 - 20 means all channels 1 through 50 except channel 20 |
| @ | Separator: Should be entered immediately before the numerical level value which is sent the specified channels. | 20+21+25@128 (Sends the value 128 to channels 20, 21 and 25) |
| DEL | Removes last input character | |
| FULL | Maximum level value | 256 (or as specified in DDF) |
| Enter | Enter (send the Command) The input field will become empty. | The last recent Command is displayed in grey area above the input line. |
The slider on right hand side acts similar to a Submaster for the channels specified in the recent sent Command, i.e. you can set the DMX values.
You can assign the buttons of the Command line tool to the keyboard or a MIDI keyboard with the Keyboard control or the MIDI remote control.
