the light controller, each unit must have its own
start address. If the first DMX channel of the spot-
light is to be controlled by the light controller via
DMX address 17, for example, set the start address
on the spotlight to 17. All other DMX channels of the
spotlight will be automatically assigned to the fol-
lowing addresses. The following table is an exam-
