{Dimmer Feedback} - appears when the current address is patched to a dimmer in an ETC Sensor rack with a CEM+ or CEM3. Sensor feedback must be enabled. See Interface Protocols and Errors and Warnings.

Note: For Sensor feedback, the CEM+ must be running software version 3.0 or later.

{Dimmer Feedback} displays the following information:

Note: Clearing CEM+ or CEM3 errors will be temporary unless the errors have been fixed at the CEM+ or CEM3. Errors displayed will clear on their own once they have been cleared from the CEM+ or CEM3. Some CEM+ or CEM3 errors can only be cleared at the Sensor rack.

{Device Details} - appears when the current address is patched to a RDM device. RDM devices must be enabled through the ECU and discovered through the patch. See Network RDM , Patch > Patch, and Errors and Warnings.

{Device Details} displays the information that it receives from the device and allows some changes to be made to:

Note: Changes may take a few seconds to make. They will propagate to the RDM device and then back to the console’s patch and about displays.
