Data received
This character cell displays a tilde to show that data is being received. The data is not
necessarily valid DMX512.
Data error
This character cell is clear when good data is being received. If an error occurs, one of the
following is displayed:
S
DMX512 is being received with a non-matching Start code. The Start Code is selected using
menu 4 – “Select Start Code”.
F
Data is being received with Framing errors. This can be caused by noise pick-up and also
occurs when the phase pins of the connector are reversed.
O
Data is being received with Overrun errors. This can be caused by noise pick-up and also
occurs when a phase pin is disconnected.
T
The received data is outside the DMX512 Timing specification. This display occurs when
either the number of channels per frame exceeds 512, or the Break time is less than 88uS, or
the MaB time is less than 4uS.
Loop through
This character cell displays 'L' when ‘The Wife’ DMX Tester's output is providing a clean
and buffered version of the incoming DMX512. When the character cell is clear, ‘The Wife’
DMX Tester's DMX512 generator is connected to the output.
