can be tested using the XMT-500 alone; xed DMX cables and Ethernet
cables require the cable test dongle to be also used - see page 3.
DMX Loop
The app will rst show the DMX loop page to test loose DMX cables
connected between the input and output XLR sockets.

DMX Dongle
When testing a DMX cable between the XLR connectors of the XMT-500

Pass/Fail indications
Note: Unlike the loop test option,
dongle tests are carried out
in pairs, eg pins 2 and 3 are
tested together. If a short occurs
between pairs (e.g. short between
pins 2 and 4), both pairs will be
marked as failed. Similarly, if an
open circuit occurs on one line
within a pair, both lines in the pair
will be shown as open.
