DMX Triggering

[Naked Eye]

i need to trigger cues on the desk from an external dmx source via an Artistic Licence DataLynx Input. i have set up for dmx input on the wing page but can't seem to trigger anything

First of all see that you see the chaneels on the input!

IS it a console or a PC version ?

i'm taking an external trigger (not a console - computer generated DMX output) via the datalynx in to an MQ100 Pro. i can see the datalynx but don't know how to control the channels. i know it can be set to control a 'virtual' wing on the playback screen but can't seem to trigger the cues

use any DMX controller as playback wing on ChamSys consoles:
-Goto Setup – View DMX I/O
-Set at Universe 1:
inType : ArtNet
in Uni : ArtNet universe you want to receive
in Sub : ArtNet subnet ypu want to receive
-Gototup – View System
-Set one of the wings at:
Type: DMX Input
Start Chan: DMX from which you want to trigger, for example 1
Num chans: number of channels that you want to use for triggering of Playbacks, maximum 24 per wing
Sensitivity: set here a value higher then 0 if the playbacks are triggered automatically, the higher the value, how less fast the playbacks will be triggered
Options: not used yet
-Playbacks of the external wings can be programmed als other playbacks and these are situated in the Playback windowr, Wing 1 = W1-1 till W1-24, Wing 2 = W2-1 till W2-24,…. Till maximum 8 wings.
- Attention, this is only possible at Consoles not at PC versions.

Be sure, if you choose an ArNet universe, that the same Universe is not used for sending out ArtNet !!

If an Out Universe is set to Subnet 0 - Universe 0, then don't use Subnet 0 - Universe 0 on an input unvirse !!! This will not work.

It has to be at universe 1 ?

Yes, it must be at the consoles Universe 1 (but can be any ArtNet subnet and universe) and max. 1 wing can be added via DMX IN.
