Upload Customs
The custom programs in the COLORdash™ Par may be transferred (copied) from one fixture to another, thus
giving the ability to have to only program them on a single fixture, and then duplicate this only several others.
This is referenced in the Control Panel as “Upload”. Follow the below steps for this process. On all fixtures that
are going to receive the upload, set them on DMX operation. The address does not matter for this operation.
1. Disconnect from DMX controller
2. Select “Settings” in the Control Board and press Enter.
3. Select “Upload Customs” and press enter.
4. Press enter. The “customs” portion of the screen will begin to flash. Press enter to confirm and begin
the transfer.
5. The slave fixtures will display green if the transfer is successful. They will display red if the transfer
is unsuccessful.
Note: the units receiving the new custom programs from the master must be set to
“SLAVE”. Otherwise, they will not allow receipt of the programs.
