Displaying received MIDI
DISPLAY RECEIVED MIDI shows six MIDI characters in hexadecimal format. The
external MIDI adapter cables are required to use this mode. The TOGGLE key is used to
freeze the data display. The following diagram shows the screen layout.
Loop Through may also be used with MIDI. The output circuitry used by ‘The Wife’ DMX
Tester is RS485 compatible. Whilst this is correct for DMX512, MIDI specifies a simpler
and less expensive set of circuitry. However, the two sets of circuitry are compatible and the
circuitry used by ‘The Wife’ DMX Tester overcomes the very short cable limitation usually
encountered with MIDI.
The MIDI input of ‘The Wife’ DMX Tester is opto-isolated.
