Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up to as many units you want in a daisy chain fashion. In
this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. An
optional TFX-SWF controller connected to the first unit in the chain will allow enhanced control
functions.

DMX Mode
Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the
fixture independently.

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate
the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol, we suggest jumping
to the Appendix section and read the “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that will help
you understand its use.
There are three different DMX
channel configurations on the
Stage Wash. Each mode or
configuration allows the user to
control the fixure in a different
manner using a universal DMX
controller.
