Setting The Starting Address - Chauvet DJ Derby X Handbuch

Setting the Starting Address

Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the product.
Each dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will
provide the start address. Figuring out which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address
can be accomplished by determining which switch values will add up to the address value and
turning these switches on. Do so by doing the following:
1) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the start address. Turn this switch on.
2) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the starting address number.
3) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the remainder from the previous
subtraction. Turn this switch on.
4) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the remainder of the previous
subtraction.
5) Repeat steps three and four until you have a remainder of zero.
Example Starting Address

= 8
= 2
= 10
= 24
233 – (128) = 105, Turn ON Dip # 8
105 – (64) = 41, Turn ON Dip # 7
41 – (32) = 9, Turn ON Dip # 6
9 – (8) = 1, Turn ON Dip # 4
1 – (1) = 0, Turn ON Dip # 1
