CAUTION: Another consideration to prevent the corruption
of DMX data is to not allow contact between the common (pin
1) of a DMX cable and the fixture’s chassis ground.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your
fixture may perform erratically.
Test cables and terminators with a continuity tester to verify
correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded
or shorted to the shield or each other.
