DMXDart Operation

IDS Talkback

The IDS talkback function accepts status data from dimmers, color scrollers, and

other IDS-capable equipment over pair 2 of the DMX cable. When active this

display shows “raw data” from any devices communicating over the alternate

pair:

IDS Talkback: ControlIDS Talkback: Control

Generic ID: 000 R:Generic ID: 000 R:

G: 001G: 001 B: 001:B: 001:

^ ^ <Tx <Tx

From this display, dimmer levels can be set, and status messages returned can

be viewed. To set dimmer levels, press Û to go to the DMX-512 Tx (transmit)

display. Levels can be set using the usual command line entry, or via channel

test mode. Returning to talkback is achieved by pressing MENU 1. Any

incoming status messages will be displayed.

Please consult the equipment’s manufacturer for IDS “plain English” data

translations.

Internal Utilities

The DMXDart contains a menu designed specifically for internal utility functions –

functions that do not relate to the analysis of DMX equipment. This menu is

called the BOOT menu. To enter the boot menu, first turn the DMXDart off.

While holding the 4 key, press PWR. This will load the boot menu:
