Introduction; Getting Started - Interactive Technologies MicroTech DMX User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the MicroTech DMX.
The MicroTech DMX is a powerful, yet simple to use multi-purpose hand-
held DMX receiver/transmitter. Its useful functions for debugging prob-
lems, testing equipment and controlling fixtures, combined with its small
size, light weight and battery operation makes it a perfect addition to your
toolbox.
The MicroTech DMX's features make it easy to:
Debug console output by viewing the actual output levels of
each dimmer channel
Test dimmers and other fixtures without a console or controller
Record and playback up to 30 scenes (snapshots) for automatic
console backup and/or for testing fixtures
Locate patched output channels of a console using the channel
finder function
Detect errors on the DMX data-link, caused by faulty cables or
other interference
View other console parameters, such as DMX packet length and
update rate
