DMX Live

DMX Live is a hands-on test area for checking DMX output before turning fixture values into scenes or behavior actions.

Display prerequisite

This section appears after at least one DMX-capable module is configured in Configure > Connections > Inputs, Outputs, and Modules.

UI path

Open Configure > Lighting > DMX Live.

What this section controls

Use DMX Live while commissioning fixtures, mapping channels, or diagnosing a fixture that is not responding to a scene.

Controls

ControlWhat it does
Channel/addressSelects the DMX address being tested.
ValueSends a live value to the selected channel.
Fixture test rowsLet you adjust several channels while identifying what each channel controls.
Clear/resetReturns test values to a safe baseline when available.

How to use it

  1. Add and wire the DMX module first.
  2. Open the DMX Live section.
  3. Move one channel value at a time and watch the fixture response.
  4. Record which channel controls dimmer, color, pan, tilt, strobe, or other fixture functions.
  5. Transfer the confirmed values into DMX Scenes.
  6. Save the final scene configuration.

Practical guidance

Use DMX Live as a commissioning tool, not as the final show logic. Once values are confirmed, store them as scenes so the behavior system can trigger them consistently.
