Fr mst applicatins it is recmmended that yu keep UNLOCK 9600 selected. BOOT SEQUENCE FLASHING When the fixture first receives pwer, befre it enters nrmal peratin, it will first reprt its channel mapping prfile and secnd reprt its DMX address thrugh a sequence f flashes. Prfile Reprt: Thugh the Gantm 7 has seven clrs available, nt all DMX cnsles have the ability t utilize all seven f them. Sme users may prefer t perate the Gantm 7 as thugh it were an RGBW r RGBA fixture because there are readily available preset prfiles fr thse fixtures n many existing DMX cntrl envirnments. The Gantm 7 has five channel mapping prfiles available: RGB, RGBA, RGBW, (MASTER)RGBAWU, and (MASTER)RGBAWLU. Mre infrmatin n these can be fund later in the DMX Cntrlled Operatin sectin.

Red flashes indicate the first digit, green flashes indicate the secnd digit, and blue flashes indicate the third digit f the DMX address. Fr example, if the Gantm 7 is assigned t address 245 it will indicate its channel mapping prfile, then reprt its address by flashing red 2 times, then flashing green 4 times,

6 then flashing blue 5 times. If it is assigned t DMX address 038, it will reprt its channel mapping prfile then reprt its address by flashing red 0 times, then flashing green 3 times, then flashing blue 8 times. TURN OFF/ON bt sequence flashing: Yu may nt want yur fixture t reprt its channel mapping prfile and address every time it receives pwer.
