Fully assembled printed circuit board. The PCB assembly consists of 3 boards, the 16 x 2 back lit 
display, detachable 4 button and contrast board, and the control board. The PCB includes a clear LCD 
cover that mounts with adhesive strips on your custom enclosure. +5VDC input or with the onboard 
+5V regulator, the Analyzer has a +7V ~ +15VDC input voltage range.

Design your own enclosure with an analyzer / tester 
display or add to your existing equipment or system. 
The DMX Analyzer is a 16 x 2 DMX512 / DMX LCD 
back lit data analyzer display unit. The DMX Analyze 
displays any 4 of 512 channels at a time, and showing 
the numeric levels currently on those channels  in 

The 4 on-board buttons [ +,  - , 10, 100 ] will scroll thru the DMX channels for viewing, by holding 
down the ' - ' button and pressing 10 or 100 will subtract by 10 or 100. The Stats display shows the  
packet size, start code, and rate or (frequency).  Board also features a dual input selection in 
programming, if your installation needs a front and rear connection, the user can easily change from the 
'A' to 'B' input simply by making a front selection change. The LCD's backlight is easily adjusted with 
front access software setting for easy changes in those dark control room environments. The auto dim 
feature allows the user to set the time and dim to value. This is useful if your using battery power.
