Viewing Dmx Data For Another Device (Data) - High End Systems Studio Command Series User Manual

CHAPTER 3
The Menu System
If you have a particular problem with the fixture, follow the steps above to select a parameter
and view its value. After noting the value of the parameter you selected, use your DMX console
to change that parameter's value.
If the value changes on the fixture's LED display, but the fixture still does not respond, contact
High End Systems customer service in one of the ways shown in the section titled Contacting
High End Systems® on page ii.
If the value does not change on the fixture's LED display, remove the fixture from the DMX link
and try to change the parameter's value using the fixture's menu system. If the fixture then
functions normally, the problem was likely with the DMX link. Otherwise, contact High End
Systems customer service (see Contacting High End Systems® on page ii).

Viewing DMX Data for Another Device (DATA)

This procedure allows you to use a Studio Command fixture to view DMX channel values for
other devices on the DMX link. Use this menu option for testing devices that do not have built-in
DMX diagnostics, or fixtures that are physically inconvenient to monitor directly.
If you experience a problem with a device on the link, use this menu to select a DMX channel in
the device's channel range and view its DMX value. After noting the value of the channel you
selected, use your DMX console to change that channel's value.
If the value of the DMX channel you selected does not change, there may be a problem with the
DMX cable or your transmitting device (i.e. DMX console).
If the DMX channel value changes, but the device does not respond, the device may be faulty.
Consult the documentation provided with that device for more information.
