3.13. What is the DMX Tester

The DMX tester is used to turn on DMX channels without the need to patch something to the channel first.

Usually you need to patch a fixture to a DMX channel before you can turn it on. This isn't always useful.

Sometimes you just need to find what DMX channel you need before you can patch a fixture to it. Or maybe you

just need to turn on some blue lights.

Then you can use the DMX key to turn on the DMX. To see different examples on how to do this, please see the

DMX command page.

The DMX tester have a higher priority than your programmer and the executors. This means that If a DMX

channel is active in the DMX tester, then you can't control it using the normal functions of the dot2. You'll need to

turn the DMX tester off or take that specific DMX channel out of the DMX Tester.

The only place you can see that a channel is under the influence of the DMX Tester and what the current DMX

values is, are the DMX view. These DMX channels will have a red background color.

The fastest way to turn off the DMX tester is the Tools menu and select Turn DMX Tester off .
