= Basic Rules for Creating a DDF =
== General Rules ==
The following basic rules should be observed when creating DDFs:
* DMX channels are always counted starting from 0 in the DDFs. Therefore, for an LED PAR with 5 DMX channels in the DDF, the DMX channels are also listed as 0 to 4, while the functions in the DMX channel are labeled from 1 to 5 in the user manual.
* The designation of the devices is limited only to the designation itself, as it appears on the cover of the manual. Additional information such as the DMX mode/channel assignment or any other comments should not be included there.
* Values for strobe frequency, pan and tilt pan ranges, gobo rotation speed, etc. should be entered without units. The usual units for these values are listed in the table below.
* The associated DMX values, for example for gobo rotation speed, should be entered so that the speeds increase clockwise and counterclockwise from the gobo rotation stop point.
* Images for the device icon as well as for the gobos should be stored in a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels and as *.png files in the DDF.
* DDFs are usually written in English to remain universally applicable and usable for all language versions of DMXControl 3. In addition, the default language of DMXControl 3 is English.

== Expected Units for Values ==
The following table provides a general overview of the units in which the HAL expects values for the listed functions. These are the values for the <code>minval</code> and <code>maxval</code> attributes when a <code>range</code> element is used in a function (gobo wheel, strobe, zoom, etc.) to describe the value range of the function on the specified subset of the DMX channel. The permissible values for the <code>minval</code> and <code>maxval</code> attributes can be found in the description of each function.

=Troubleshooting=
These are common errors that prevent a DDF from being added to a project:
* No pan range specified in the <code>range</code> attribute for pan and tilt.
* No value specified for <code>minval</code> and <code>maxval</code> for strobe.
* The <code>model</code> tag is still misspelled.
