nanoScope is a small battery powered tester for DMX512 and RDM. It is built
into a 5 pin XLR connector with a translucent plastic case. nanoScope lights
up in different colours to express its findings.
Two modes of operation exist, selected by a recessed slide switch which also
doubles as the power switch.
In 'Pixel Mode', nanoScope simply displays the first three DMX channels as an
RGB mix. This allows nanoScope to be used as a pixel mimic to provide
confidence that the expected data is on the cable.
A flick of the switch selects 'Analysis Mode'. nanoScope displays a sequence
of coloured blips, that represent different attributes of the DMX512 signal. The
sequence comprises one long blip followed by a train of short blips.
The long blip will be either green or red to indicate overall good or bad data
respectively. The train of short blips uses warm colours to indicate problems
and cold colours for informational feedback.

nanoScope developer is a sophisticated RDM analyser and DMX512 mimic for
product developers. It is built into a 5 pin XLR connector with a translucent
plastic case. nanoScope lights up in different colours to express its findings.
Two modes of operation exist, selected by a recessed slide switch which also
doubles as the power switch.
In 'Pixel Mode', nanoScope developer simply displays the first three DMX
channels as an RGB mix. This allows nanoScope developer to be used as a
pixel mimic to provide confidence that the expected data is on the cable.
A flick of the switch selects 'RDM Mode'. nanoScope displays the six RDM
command classes with different coloured pulses.
In addition discovery collisions and EUIDs are also detected and displayed.
Common errors are categorised in three groups which are also displayed.
