Doug Fleenor Design DMXdoohickey User manual

Model DMXdoohickey
Operations Manual
Product Description
The DMXdoohickey is a DMX512 testing device that displays the level of channel
512. This level is often used to indicate the universe number of that particular
DMX cable, and the DMXdoohickey can quickly identify it for the user.
Product Operation
The DMXdoohickey wakes up when it detects a DMX512 signal. It displays the
level of channel 512 by flashing a series of three numbers when in decimal
mode, or a series of two numbers when in percentage mode. It will continue to
do so with pauses between each series until it is unplugged or the DMX signal is
lost. It will then replay the value one or two more times depending on when it was
disconnected. When not in use, the DMXdoohickey goes into sleep mode in
order to save power. From the factory, the DMXdoohickey reads in decimal form
(range 000-255). While in decimal mode, the decimal point on the bottom-right of the display is
illuminated. If a percentage display is desired (range 00-FL), a PCB trace next to the lanyard hole can
be cut. Please note that this modification is non-reversible. If the DMXdoohickey detects an invalid
signal, it will display three dashes (- - -). When DMX512 packets are present which do not have a
512th channel, the DMXdoohickey will display “NO CHN 512”.
