ROGRAM
MANAGEMENT
This section describes the features for saving and deleting the contents of the control-
ler’s memory. There is also an Upload/Download Utility available from the Martin
web site. This is a free Windows utility for managing lighting programs created with
the 2518 DMX Controller.
To use the Upload/Download Utility, a straight-through RS-232 cable must be con-
nected between the computer’s serial port and the controller’s RS-232 I/O port. Dis-
connect both devices from AC power before connecting the RS-232 cable. Please
refer to the online documentation for additional details.

LAYBACK
MODE
Locking a program in memory turns the 2518 DMX Controller into an easy-to-use

unlocks the memory and allows the editing and/or deletion of the programming.
