Using the DMX Output Window

The DMX Output Window is a useful tool to troubleshoot Data / DMX Issues, or simply to double check

which channels are being output at which value.

You may open the DMX Output window by clicking on the

DMX Output

button on the second page of

any split widget side menu.

The DMX Universe may be selected using the drop-down menu in the title bar.
