DMX DISPLAY FUNCTION
Select View | DMX Display for a simple DMX512 test utility. To generate an Art-Net output stream click Transmit then select one
of the 6 Transmit Options and change Art-Net Universe as applicable. When in Manual mode you can click on any of the channels
(represented by small boxes with hexadecimal channel level inside) to set ON level and double click to set zero. The mouse scroll
wheel adjusts a channel by a defined increment. Channel number increases left to right, top to bottom and the roaming tool tip
provides information about a specific channel.
Both the ON level and mouse wheel step can be set by right clicking anywhere within the black display area. Number of channels
transmitted and the refresh rate can be adjusted using the applicable sliders adjacent to transmit options.
The DMX Display utility works with any manufacturers Art-Net hardware and can be useful for diagnostics and simple testing of
DMX512 fixtures.
ADVANCED OPTIONS
IGMP Unsolicited Period can be configured where an IGMP Querier is not always active in a multicast (sACN) network. We highly
recommend ensuring your network infrastructure manages IGMP Requests appropriately however setting the IGMP Unsolicited
Period from 5 – 255 seconds permits multicast traffic to function correctly even when the IGMP Querier is off-line. Set to 0s to
disable (default). This is only available in firmware 3.0+ and can be accessed using the Advanced | IGMP Unsolicited Period
dialog.
ART-NET NODE NAME
The Art-Net protocol supports device naming which can make larger installations more manageable. Both Short Name (17
characters) and Long Name (63 characters) for an LeDMX Device can be modified using the Advanced | Edit Node Name dialog.
