Introduction
The Parameters view shows all RDM parameters [PIDs including fixed parameter IDs as well as manufacturer-specific IDs] that are supported by the currently selected device [or even currently selected devices].
Overview
By default, the following information is provided since the following columns are enabled in the list:
#
|
Represents the parameter numbering as index and is especially useful for referencing parameters in the list.
|
Parameter
|
Shows each specific parameter that is supported.
|
Value
|
Shows the current value for each parameter.
|
Associated PIDs
|
Shows the specific PID or PIDs that are assigned to the parameter.
|
Editing And Changing Values
Overview
▪In general, this overview shows information provided by the RDM device.
▪In specific cases, the edit icon [that is, a pen] shows that the respective information can be edited by you.
Editing
▪Left Mouse Double-Click - Perform a double-click with your left mouse button on a value in order to edit it.
- Keyboard shortcut: F2
- Confirm with Enter [or click outside of the currently active cell with the mouse]. Abort any changes with Escape.
|
You may be presented with different choices for the specific parameter.
In this example, 0x00 or 0x01 is the value that will be sent over RDM.
|
|
You may be able to directly enter numbers or text as input.
|
|
When having selected several devices in the Devices view and their parameters have different values, the software will display this accordingly.
When changing a value, the change will be made for all selected RDM devices that support this parameter.
|
Valid Values And Limits
The valid values for each parameter are defined by the RDM device and its set of features [such as DMX Personality], the RDM standard [such as Identify], or a different standard [such as DMX Start Address for DMX512].
Visual Feedback For Edits
The software will show you if any changes you have made are set successfully or not. This status is shown for a couple of seconds after each change.
|
Green - The RDM device reported back that the changes were successfully set.
|
|
Yellow - The request is currently pending.
|
|
Red - The RDM device could not successfully set the new value or the request timed out. Learn more »Missing Responses From RDM Devices
|
|
If you are editing several devices, the list cell can split in the according number of selected devices and show each status individually.
|
Context-Menu
▪Right Mouse Click - Perform a click with your right mouse button on a device.
Edit
|
Allows you to change the entry [if it can be edited]. [Keyboard shortcut: F2]
|
Request Parameters (Get:ParameterId)
|
Sends a new request to the device in order to obtain the latest parameter values, which includes all personalities and their corresponding descriptions. [Corresponds to the Get-command of the specific PID if available.]

Search
▪Search - Enter any text in order to search all parameters in the list.
- Any device/line that includes the search term will be shown. All others are temporarily filtered out.
- Terms can be case-insensitive. You don't have to use capital letters.
- Feel free to use terms that are incomplete. For example, mad will include results for MADRIX.
- You may specify certain columns by using a colon [:].
- For example: val:MAD shows all lines where MADRIX might be included in a product description for example by referencing the column Value, for example.
Options
You can set up specific settings for Parameters in the Options.
