[SML] ETC Sensor Dimmer rack running 120 circuits

Keep in mind that DMX addresses and dimmers/circuits are not the same thing. For example, you can use one DMX address to control multiple dimmers - but you cannot control a single dimmer via multiple DMX addresses. 
Those other modules you listed are just dimmer modules - the D15 module contains 2 dimmers which are independent of each other - as is true for many ETC dimmer modules.It may be that you have 96 dimmers (in possibly 48 modules) in the main rack and 24 dimmers in the other rack you mentioned.  It is not clear to me how many modules you have or which DMX ranges control which dimmers. Bill

<div dir="ltr">I have since learned from someone else who supervised the theatre for a few years that there MAY be something to do with dimmer doubling.  However, it does NOT utilize dongles and it MAY involve Dimmers modules 1-12 (dimmers 1-24) ALSO running circuits/dimmers 97-120 as discrete addresses (though we also have a sensor building rack labeled DMX addresses 97-102--populated with D15E , D11 & C45 modules -- whatever the hell those are!)</div><br /><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Sep 1, 2023 at 11:57 AM Jerry Durand via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:<br /></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb( 204 , 204 , 204 );padding-left:1ex">I forgot about those, put them at the top of my list<br /><br />
