Auto Address
TRP includes Auto Address functionality in the Patch Tool.
When multiple fixtures are selected, Auto Address assigns them sequentially according to the channel count of each fixture’s currently selected personality.
For example:
| Fixture | Footprint | Assigned Address |
|---|---|---|
| Fixture 1 | 39 | 1 |
| Fixture 2 | 39 | 40 |
| Fixture 3 | 22 | 79 |
| Fixture 4 | 34 | 101 |
TRP automatically calculates the next available start address from the previous fixture’s footprint.
If the next fixture would extend beyond DMX channel 512, the system handles progression into the next universe rather than placing an invalid footprint beyond the universe boundary.
