DMXDart Operation

Transmitting DMX

The DMXDart supports 2 modes of transmitting DMX data, each having a

different application when testing a lighting system. The first mode is Data Entry

mode, which is more commonly referred to as command line level setting. In this

mode DMX levels are set using standard command line language through the

whole 512 channel DMX stream, and 512 channel ‘looks’ are established by

“piling on” levels. Channel levels are held at their last set level until they are

changed. The second mode is Channel Test, which allows for the sequential

testing of single channels, while leaving all others off. A single channel is

brought to a level using the standard command line, then the NEXT and PREV

keys are used to increment or decrement the channel number being tested. As

the channel is changed, the previously active channel is taken to 0.
