 ====== DMX Control Primer ======
 This article is to introduce you to how DMX works and some tips to troubleshoot it. If you are looking for resources on how the serial protocol is written so that you can create your own DMX code library, there are some details at the end.
+For info on how to set up DMX lights in Horizons, check out the [[controllers:dmx|Horizons DMX Tutorial]].

 **RDM** is Remote Device Management. Horizons doesn't currently support this but some splitters, controllers, testers, and more do. This lets you change fixture settings, read sensor data, and more remotely. It will send a packet or two back to the controller in the space between DMX packets.
+**DMX Loss Behavior** is what a fixture does when it stops receiving DMX packets. Some fixtures will **Hold Last Look** based on the last packet, waiting for a new packet to arrive. Others will **Wait and Fade** at the last packet look for a specific time, before fading the lights out. Other fixtures will just turn off when DMX packets stop flowing. *Check your ConstandDelivery setting in Horizons based on how your fixture handles packet speed/loss.*
