DMXDart Operation

By monitoring the battery status display, problems present in cabling or DMX

reception equipment may be discovered. The DMXDart’s power draw is typically

between 28 and 80mA, depending on a number of operational factors. Seeing a

current draw outside of this range indicates a problem somewhere in the signal

path and may prompt the use of another of the DMXDart’s DMX analysis tools.

Changing the Battery

The DMXDart’s run time and capacity are based on the typical current capacity of

a standard 9V Alkaline battery (approximately 540mAHr). Each time the

DMXDart’s battery is changed, this capacity must be reset to insure the most

precise calculations for these values. The DMXDart will automatically detect a

battery change and reset the capacity. You will be prompted to confirm a battery

change when one occurs.

It is possible to change the initial capacity if a non-standard battery is being used.

This is done by using the up and down arrows to manipulate the value. Please

consult your battery’s manufacturer for the correct capacity information.

To exit the power management displays, press MENU. This will return to the

previously used function menu.

Software Updates

DMXDart software updates are available from the Gray Interfaces website

(http://www.gray-interfaces.com) as they become available. Software updates

will generally add features or enhancements, improve usability or fix bugs.

Connecting to a PC

To install the update, the DMXDart is connected to your PC using the supplied

serial cable. PC communications for the purpose of software updates are set up

from the PC Communication option within the boot menu. The DMXDart employs

a high-speed serial interface that can be configured to communicate using any

standard baud rate and settings. Choosing 1 – PC Comm Setup from the PC

Communications option sets up the port. The typical settings for software

updates are:

1 2 ... 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
