How to keep DMX on when shutting down.

Post by thegoof529 »

Okay so we recently purchased a showxpress 512 for our building. Our buildings house lights are dmx controlled on a Leviton dimmer. The problem is when we close out of showxpress it tells our dimmer pack to also turn off blacking out the entire room. Usually people linger in the room afterward and we keep having to totally black out on them while they are still talking, until our light switches that control our dimmers kick back in. We have tried hitting the light switch on so the dimmer takes control but still when we close out of showxpress it shuts all of the house lights off. Is there any way to have it stay on whatever scene it was on when shut it down? Or even set a default scene that it goes to during shut down? It takes about 5 seconds for showxpress to let us turn our lights back on once we exit out of the program. We would hate to have to leave the program on all the time.

You can upload a scene in the interface (from tab "StandAlone").
Then, a few seconds after you close the software, the standalone scenes starts.

You can also unplug the USB cable for the Dongle from the computer before closing SX as an alternative option...
Just make sure you plug it back in before rebooting Computer... 8-)
