ADDICT v3.0.1 User Manual DMX512 and RDM (Remote Device Management) Functionality

Test DMX

512

– Sniff Channels

With Sniff Channels, the ADDICT

behaves as a DMX

512

slave, and only receives a DMX

512

signal.

During sniffing, the ADDICT

will display the levels that are currently being received for a range

of 8 channels at a time.

Sniff Channels begins by requesting the starting range of channels to be displayed, as shown in

the following example:

This is just the range of channels that are initially displayed on the screen, and this range can be

changed during testing. Note that only the lower value is selected for the range – the other

value is always 7 more.

After the starting channel range is selected, the ADDICT

will display the sniffed levels for the 8

channels in the starting range:

If the ADDICT

is receiving a valid DMX512 signal, “RX” will be displayed on the screen. If it stops

receiving a valid signal for at least a second, “RX” will disappear until a valid signal is received

again, but the most recently received levels will still be displayed.

To change the range of channels displayed, press the up and down buttons to decrement and

increment the channels respectively.

Pressing enter will cause the display to be paused and all levels (even those outside the currently

displayed range) will not change from their current values until sniffing is unpaused by pressing

enter again. When sniffing is paused, “PA” is displayed on the screen:

Note that even while paused, “RX” still indicates whether a valid DMX512 signal is currently

being received.
