DMX address setting - When controlling the unit (or units) with a DMX controller, each one must be set with a specific DMX
address. You can choose to set all units with the same DMX address or you can set every unit with its own DMX address. If all
units are set with the same DMX address all units will be synchronised and operate in the same way.
If you set each unit with a different DMX address, they will receive the DMX signal from their own DMX address. You will now be
able to control each unit individually. The DMX address that you set for each unit must be determined by the number of channels.
This unit has 8 DMX channels, therefore you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit must be set to 9
(1+8), the third to 17 (9+8), the fourth to 25 (17+8) and so on.
