Introduction
With the F-Test you can:
Test Pixels- up to 1400.
Send test data to Differential Receivers (Smart/Dumb Remotes typically Falcon, FPP, Genius, HinksPix
and compatible receivers)
Send test data to DMX devices
Send test data to Renard/Basic LOR devices (Renard devices require an adapter cable, refer to the
Evaluate and monitor the differential data coming from a “Long Range” type controller (Falcon, FPP,
Genius, HinksPix, Advatek, some Alphapix and other compatible type controllers)
Evaluate and monitor incoming WS281x and compatible pixel data.
Evaluate and monitor incoming DMX, Renard, and basic LOR data.
Save log info to an SD card for more detailed analysis or to review trend data.
The F-Test has a visual display that can show relevant data such as:
Line Voltage on pixel lines
Line Amperage on pixel lines
Connected Pixel counts
DMX/Renard/LOR values for all 512 channels
Frame rate and number of pixels that data is received.
Graphical representation of pixel data received to include the colors.
Basic oscilloscope to evaluate data signals and voltage differences on the data line.
Common wiring diagram for Ray Wu and xConnect pigtails.
Adapter Cable wiring diagrams.
When the F-Test is connected with both Pixel input data and to pixel strings, it will act as an F-Amp and clean
the signal. This can be useful to determine if an F-Amp would help in your situation.
Note: This does not apply when you are in the Pixel Output mode.
F-Test Modes
The F-Test has two operational modes, a Testing Mode to output test patterns and a Monitoring Mode to
evaluate incoming data signals.
