DMX signal monitoring
The MAC III Wash provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This information
can be useful for troubleshooting control problems.
RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may
result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.
QUALITY displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much
below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the
most common cause of control problems.
START CODE displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular
performance.
The remaining options under DMX LIVE display the DMX values in a range from 0 - 255 that are being
received on each channel, starting with channel 1 (Strobe/shutter).
