This page contains software resources to help implement, develop and test products which use RDM and RDMnet
RDM PIDs
RDM and RDMnet include many “Parameter IDs” or PIDs. A key part of adding RDM to your product is to decide which PIDs you need to implement, and this will depend on the features your product has. Below is a quick-reference list of all the PIDs from the standards
