Viewing DMX Status and Construct Values (FIXT)

This menu option allows you to view DMX status and construct values for the fixture. You should follow this procedure if you are having a particular problem with a fixture; for example, a color wheel that does not respond to commands from the controller.

The following DMX status information is available for viewing:

BRKS - number of DMX breaks (framing errors with zero data)

FE - number of framing errors with a non-zero value (errors in data transmission)

OV - overruns (changing values could indicate data link/connector problems)

STRT - start code
