Then perform the test according to the sequence of the above list by moving the
respective controllers first to the maximum position and then to the minimum position.
The corresponding value on the display should move linearly between the values 0
and 255. It is important that only one value is changed on the display when a
controller is moved. The other values should remain less than 3. If no value or more
than one value is changed on the display when a controller is moved, a malfunction
of the console may be present. In that case it is necessary that you contact our
technical support under
.
7.9.3 Testing DMX In and DMX Out
Press the softkey DMXIN to perform a test of the DMX inputs and outputs. The
following submenu is displayed:
The DMX IN TEST menu displays the values received by the DMX input, whether or
not the DMX remote function is activated. On the display you will see both the
number of channels received (here: 512) and a list of the received channels in
groups of four at a time. Use the encoder to select the channels displayed. The DMX
start byte is the first channel on the display you may select. To test the DMX inputs
and outputs you may, for example, patch two AUX potentiometers with the DMX
channels 1 and 512. Then subsequently connect the two DMX outputs with the DMX
input. Check, whether the number displayed for the channels transmitted is 512 and
whether the values on the display received for the channels 1 and 512 will change in
analogy to the movement of the two AUX potentiometers.
If that is not the case, a malfunction of the console may be present. It is necessary
then that you contact our technical support under
.
You may, of course, use the DMX input of the Licon FX to test the DMX outputs of
other DMX control consoles.
