CONNECTION
Connect a power supply into the power input connector. Connect a DMX512 source into the A or B
input. If a loop through connector is installed either terminate with a 120 ohm terminator or loop to other
devices. Insure that input A or B is selected in the menu
(see operation instructions below),
the LCD will
display the channels and data on the respective input or “no signal” if a valid DMX signal is not present.
The Analyzer can be connected or inserted anywhere on the DMX512 daisy chain.
OPERATION
Once a DMX512 signal is established, any of the 512 channels and levels can be displayed. To
display the desired channel press the ‘+’ to scroll to a higher channel one channel at a time or ‘-’ to scroll

in the display by 10 or 100 respectively. By holding the ‘-’ button and pressing 10 or 100, the display
will scroll in subtraction to the left most channel.
The levels of each channel are updated several times per second and will display the latest value. To
enter the
stats menu

DMX512 channel display, press the ‘Esc (10) button. To enter the
setup menu

buttons (10’ and ‘100’) simultaneously. On each menu use the ‘+’ or ‘-’ button to change the values.
