Hi,

You can use : symcfg list -sid xxx -da all 

Check the entries under Slot

Total Number of engines = Number of slots / 2

The first engine to be installed is always 4 that will contain Dir: 7,8

Followed this engines are added upside down.. So the next will be Engine 5 and then Engine 3 and so on...

The engines will always contain the follwoing directors..

Engine1:Director 1,2

Engine2:Director 3,4

Engine3:Director 5,6

Engine4: Director 7,8

Engine5:Director 9,10

Engine6:Director 11,12

Engine7:Director 13, 14

Engine8:Director 15, 16

Thanks

See here in the baove output we have slots: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.

So Total Engines in teh box are: 8/2 =4

Each of this engine will have 2 Directors each.

Engine 1:Dir 1,2

Engine 2:Dir 3,4

Engine 3:Dir 5,6

Engine 4:Dir 7,8

Engine 5:Dir 9,10

Engine 6:Dir 11,12

Engine 7:Dir 13, 14

Engine 8:Dir 15,16

Also from output we see Directors 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 are installed so Engines should:

Engine3, Engine 4, Engine 5, Engine 6

Thanks

so, if the slot is evenly divisible by 2, then it would be on engine 2? (ie: slot 10 is evenly divisible by 2, but 7 is not)?

Amita:

Does this theory hold good for DMXes as well?

Hi,

We dont have Engine concept in DMX arrays.

The directors there are installed oppositely. First Director 1 and 16 are installed and later on the 2 and 15 and so on..

Thanks
