Transmit text
The TRANSMIT TEXT menu provides support for the new DMX Text feature of DMX512-
A.
DMX Text is a useful function that allows equipment that lacks a screen display, to send
diagnostic and status information via DMX512.
This menu provides the option to send one of four preset text messages in order to check text
reception on other equipment.
When Transmit Text is selected, the text DMX frame is sent once every 64 packets of
standard (start code zero) DMX512.
It is therefore possible to leave this menu with text mode still active. If this is not desired, set
the message to None before exiting the menu.
The Up and DOWN buttons force an immediate text packet transmission.
The following keys are active:
LEFT
Previous menu item
RIGHT

UP
Previous text message
DOWN

The available text messages are shown in the chart below. The field marked xxx is a three-
digit number that counts the number of text frames sent. This number rolls over to zero at
255.
All text messages are sent with both control fields set to zero. The strings are null
terminated.
Messages 1& 2 use all letters of the alphabet. Message 3 is formatted for display by ‘The
Wife’ DMX Tester.
