[SML] DMX expert 16 bit conversion?

[Jerry Durand]

I'm probably mis-reading the question, in case I didn't...

First you need to know which order the channels are sent.  As in channel
1 could be the lower 8 bits and channel 2 could be the upper 8.

Then do your equation:

(Percent * 65535) to get the 16 bit value you want. 

Where to go next depends on the calculator you have handy.  If you can
convert to HEX then you'll have a 4-digit hex number like
12AB

The AB would go into the lower 8 bits, the 12 goes to the upper 8 bits. 
The following tables may be of help.
