\fIfilename\fR
Load initial channel values from this file. Saves are made to this
filename. If you don't specify any file, nothing is loaded upon
startup and saves are made to "default.chn".
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
dmxconsole is a simple curses console application. You can manipulate
dmx channels directly and store them in different cues. Cues are
crossfaded.
.LP
Use the cursor keys to select a channel. You can increase/decrease its
value with the +/\- and PageUp/PageDown keys. The spacebar alters
between zero and full value.
.LP
With the function keys F1\-F12 you select a different cue. The new cue
is crossfaded into the current cue. You can change the crossfadetime
with keys 0\-9.
.LP
The current set of cues are saved with 's'. The default filename is
"default.chn" in the current directory. You can load a file upon
startup by adding the filename to the command line. This file is then
used to save.
.LP
The last change to the current cue can by undoed with 'u'.
.LP
Look at the KEYS section for a complete reference of keys.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"

.TP
\fBu\fR
Undo the last change to the current cue.
.TP
\fBp\fR
Change palette.
.TP
\fBn\fR
Toggle number of the first DMX channel between 0 and 1.
.SH "MOUSE & JOYSTICK"
.LP
If you have connected and enabled a mouse or joystick you can select
the current channel by moving your mouse. The mouse wheel will act
like pressing keys PageUp or PageDown, thus increasing or decreasing
the channel value by 16. The right mouse button will toggle the
current channel like pressing the space key. If you press the left
mouse button while moving the mouse horizontically the current channel
value is altered. The middle mouse button will set the current
channel to 0.
.SH "LIRC SUPPORT"
.LP
If you have the lirc daemon running you can control dmxconsole with it. Please append
the distributed \fBlircrc\fR file to your \fB~/.lircrc\fR file. Then edit
the section \fBdmxconsole\fR and replace the \fIremote=\fR setting with the
name of your IR control and the \fIbutton=\fR settings with your desired
buttons.
.br
Remember to enable the LIRC support with the \fBconfigure\fR script when
configuring dmx4linux, so dmxconsole is linked against the lirc library.
.SH "BUGS"
.LP
If you use dmxconsole in a xterm, some function keys (F1\-F12) may not
work. This is due to the termcap or terminfo system providing wrong
keycodes for those function keys. You can either ignore those function
keys, use a different terminal program like rxvt or use the linux
console.
