Viewing Dmx Data For Another Device (Data) - High End Systems Studio Spot 250 User Manual

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.
However, if the value does not change on the fixture's LED display, remove the fixture
from the DMX link and try to change the construct'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.

Viewing DMX Data for Another Device (DATA)

This procedure allows you to use a Studio Spot 250 or Studio Color 250 fixture to view
DMX channel values for other devices on the DMX link. You should use this
procedure either for testing devices that do not have built-in DMX diagnostics, or for
fixtures that are physically inconvenient to monitor directly.
To view DMX data for another device on the DMX link:
1. Press and hold the <Menu> button until "ADDR" appears on the LED
display.
2. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the "INFO" menu
and press the <Enter> button to select the "INFO" menu.
3. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the "DMX" menu
and press the <Enter> button to select the "DMX" menu.
4. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the "DATA" menu
and press the <Enter> button to select the "DATA" menu.
5. Using the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons, scroll to the desired DMX
channel (C001 - C512) and press the <Enter> button to select the desired
to
DMX channel. The LED will display the selected channel's DMX value.
If you are experiencing a particular problem with a device on the link, follow the steps
above 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 controller 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. controller).
However, 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.
