DMX channel set to 255 when closing DasLight

Post by Marcel04 »

Hi everyone – and Moin to any German users! :)
I hope it's okay to write this post in both English and German, as my English isn't perfect and I’m hoping to reach someone who may have had the same issue.

ENGLISH:
I'm using DasLight 5 and have an issue:
As soon as I close the software, my DMX dimmer on channel 1 (universe 1) jumps to a value of 255.
I would prefer that all channels stay at 0 after closing the program.

Is this a known issue? Any idea how to fix it or if there’s a setting for this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

DEUTSCH:
Ich nutze DasLight 5 und habe folgendes Problem:
Sobald ich die Software schließe, wird mein Dimmer auf Kanal 1 im Universum 1 automatisch auf den Wert 255 gesetzt.
Ich möchte aber, dass alle Kanäle bei 0 bleiben, nachdem ich DasLight beende.

Ist das Problem bekannt? Weiß jemand, wie man das verhindern kann – vielleicht über eine Einstellung?

Danke im Voraus für jede Hilfe!

Hello,

Whenever you close the software, your DMX device jumps into "standalone" mode. This means that it'll start playing whatever show has previously been written into the internal memory of your device.

If you wish for your device to send specific DMX values whenever the software isn't managing it, you might want to write these values yourself, using the StandAlone section of the software.

Regards,
TomHat
