-====== LedTrix – Setup Window ======
-Instead of describing the parameters that can be set in the “Setup window” and example has been made.
-In the example I have used 8 x ”Kam Led 800 Stripline” to create an 8 x 8 matrix.
-{{:ledtrix_kam_matrix.jpg|}}
-Each Kam has 8 segments that uses 6 DMX channels for control.
-The 6 channels looks like this bellow.
-With LedTrix we only want to control the colors because it is a tool to display graphics meaning that only 2, 3, and 4 are of interest.\\
-A whole Kam stripline uses 6 x 8 = 48 addresses and whole matrix of 8 Kams uses 8 x 48 = 384 addresses.
-Note:\\
-I a case where only 3 channels are used to control each segment DNX 512  = 512 addresses can control 170 segments and this gives a matrix of max 13 x 13.

-Kam LED 800 Stripline Set to 8 segments
-{{:ledtrix_kam.jpg|}}
-All Kams are placed with DMX addresses next to each other. See the figure.\\
-This gives a start address = 2 because it is the first red segment.\\
-And for every 3 addresses we are to skip 3 to get the next red segment.\\
-Bellow these values can bee seen.\\
-As the first segment in the matrix is upper left corner the mode “Mode” entry is set to this.\\
-Remember to press the “Auto address” button”
-Looking on the color / address window the addresses can be checked.\\
-First Kam, segment 1 has adr. 2, 3, 4 and segment 2 has adr. 8, 9 and 10.\\
-This correspond to the drawing above.\\

-**Image Control** \\
-The image is normally larger than the matrix that are used display it. There are some parameters that can be used to move the matrix.\\
-Here is a gif that can be used to show the effect of these parameters.
-{{:test01.gif|}}
-It has been made with a freeware program "GIMP 2" [[http://www.gimp.org/|www.gimp.org ]]
-** “V. Offset and H. Offset” ** \\
-This is a manual way to move the matrix Vertical and Horizontal around in the image.\\
-Here are two plots with the offset set to 0 and 3 \\
-{{:ledtrix_image_offset_00.jpg|}}
-** “Auto. align” ** \\
-If you set on the Auto. align then when you select an image it will automatically be centered to the matrix.
-In this case with a image of size 20 x 20 it will automatically set the both offsets to 6.\\
-This can be seen if you exit the setup window, select the image and then return to the setup window.\\
-The offsets have now the values 6\\
-{{:ledtrix_image_offset_auto.jpg|}}
-** “V. spacing and H. Spacing” ** \\
-To demonstrate the spacing function a matrix of 20 x 5 is used.\\
-Spacing is if you only want to mount a reduced no of fixtures.\\
-If this parameters is used then the fixture buildup are to be symmetrical.\\
-The spacing don’t start at the first colon / row but the colon / row with then spacing no.\\
-Also when the spacing is to high so the matrix is larger than the image then the preview don’t perform as expected.\\
-Here spacing 1,2,3 and 4 are shown.\\
-{{:ledtrix_image_spacing_00.jpg|}}
-Matrix larger than image.\\
-Here spacing are 5 and 6 and as it can bee seen the function is not well definde here so this setting are to be avoied.\\
-At spacing 5 a black colon appears as expexted but spacing 6 gives an image without spacing. \\
