1 Introduction
The XMT-120A an XMT-350 are the new generation of powerful DMX-512 measurement an test equipment for
architecture, entertainment, film an TV lighting an installations using DMX512. The versatile functions of the XMT-
120A simplify the ebugging of lighting an installations, or any application where DMX is use to control lighting.
The unit can monitor DMX-512 signals as well as analyze an isplay them. The evice can also generate DMX-512
signal an supports the control of more complex DMX-512 fixtures such as moving lights. The testing of RGB LED
lighting with many channels is easy to o with the XMT-120A or the XMT-350. With a itional features such as cable
tester, timing analysis, sequence e itor, channel "tracer", ip-switch isplay, flicker fin er, an Min / Max isplay this
evice is i eal for troubleshooting an resolving DMX-512 signal challenges an yet remains very simple to operate.
The XMT can be connecte via USB to a PC. The Win ows software allows managing the fixture library for intelligent
evices an new firmware up ates.

The battery is not charged by the XMT.
The battery status of the XMT is isplaye graphically in the upper right corner of the isplay. When USB power is
available, the battery symbol isappears an is replace with a power connection symbol.
To conserve battery life, the XMT, when in powere by the battery, has a efault mo e of power off if left unuse for a
perio of time. Please see Power Settings chapter to mo ify power behavior.
7 USB Port
The USB port is use to power the XMT an to connect to a PC. Any 5V USB a apter which is capable to supply 150mA
can be use . The USB socket type is: Micro-USB B. The USB cable is not supplie with the XMT.
