StageConsole DMX Command Line Syntax

channel number(s) @ level [Enter]

The [Enter] key executes the command. The Backspace key deletes characters. The key syntax is designed so that you can use either a PC numeric keypad or a keyboard without having to use the shift key.

Keys that may be used to select channels:

Enter digits for channel numbers. To select multiple channels, you can use the AND, THRU and EXCEPT keys as well.

Keys that may be used to set levels:

If you enter a single digit for the level, it will be interpreted as ten times that number. For example if you enter just a 4 for the level, the level will be set at 40%. To set levels below 10% you must enter a zero before the digit. For example to set a level of 5%, enter 05 as the level.

If you do not enter any channel numbers- just entering: @ level , the previously selected channels will be set.

Examples

To select channel 34 and set it to 25%, enter:

34@25 [Enter]

To select channel 504 and set it to 215 (DMX), enter:

504@D215 [Enter]

Use [AND] to select channel 10 and 20 and set them to 50%, enter:

10+20@5

Use [THRU] to select a group of consecutively numbered channels, 3 thru 9 and set them to full, enter: (no level value is given after the @ symbol)

3/9@ – sets channels 3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 to 100%

Use both [THRU] and [AND] to select channels to include in a selection.

1/5+8+11@75 – sets channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 11 to 75%

Use [EXCEPT] to exclude each non-consecutive channel from a selection.

1/5-2-4@6 – sets channels 1, 3, and 5 to 60%

To exclude consecutive channels from a selected group of channels, press [Except] before entering the channels to exclude. To select channel 1 thru 10 except channels 4 thru 6 and set them to 30%, enter:

1/7-4/6@3 – sets channels 1, 2, 3, and 7 to 30%
