COUNTERS
The DISPLAY RECEIVED
Counters menu provides four
event counters for received
data:
 Pk. The total number of DMX512 packets received
irrelevant of their start code.
 Sc. The total number of DMX512 packets received with a
start code matching that set in menu 4. If the start code in
menu 4 is set to ‘Don’t Care’ (Toggle Key) this will display
the same number as ‘Pk’.
 RDM. The total number of RDM packets received (including
both draft and standard start codes).
 Fer. The total number of framing errors detected. Before
the advent of RDM a framing error was simply an error.
RDM makes use of collisions to discover devices on the
network. These collisions generate framing errors. So this
counter can be used to see whether RDM discovery is in
progress.
The data is displayed in hexadecimal.
