protocol, but the controller is sending Technoray channel values, none of the values you send from the controller will have the expected effect. Continuing the same example, sending a value on channel 8 (which is effect wheel spin speed for Technoray) will result in selecting a rotating litho wheel position on Technobeam.

2.Is more than one device affected? If so, and the devices are addressed sequentially on the link, check to make sure addressing was done properly on all affected devices. In particular, if you are using fixture numbering, review the DMX channel boundaries for all affected fixtures. Table A-5 on page A-16 shows fixture number to DMX channel boundaries for Technobeam.

3.Make sure the last device on the link is terminated.

4.Are the gears and motors moving at all? If not, check for a loose cable connection or a cable break somewhere on the link. If possible, verify cable integrity or replace questionable cable with known good cable.

5.Make sure the controller is generating output. Consult the documentation provided with the controller for more information.

6.Verify the DMX data for other fixtures on the link (see “Viewing DMX Status and Construct Values (FIXT)” on page 3-24 or “Viewing DMX Data for Another Device (DATA)” on page 3-26).
