Looking into the DMX table the DMX value for each gobo / color / function is normally given in a range.\\ | Looking into the DMX table the DMX value for each gobo / color / function is normally given in a range.\\ | ||
For instance Channel 3, gobo 2, it is the one named “MOVEMENT 1”, has the value range 8 to 38. The is made with a range, because some controller only have faders to control the fixture and this makes it difficult to set a precise value.\\ | For instance Channel 3, gobo 2, it is the one named “MOVEMENT 1”, has the value range 8 to 38.

+ | Example: | ||
\\ | \\ | ||
The reason for selecting the middle value is that, if it is a wheel then the min and max value may bring the wheel in a position where gobo is not centered totally. The value between 2 gobos may bring the wheel in a position so two half gobos can be seen and this is normally to be avoided.\\ | The reason for selecting the middle value is that, if it is a wheel then the min and max value may bring the wheel in a position where gobo is not centered totally.

+ | The “Auto generate value” has a “First DMX value” and a “Last DMX value” entry box. This makes it possible to generate almost all gobo tables.\\ | ||
