Quasar Science Dynamite DMX Tester Reviews

Works as described.

To see the value you need to know channel address and make sure you know which mode the tester shows value in. It has Percentage and DMX byte modes. My unit had percentage mode on by default.

Great DMX Tester for Film

Wanted to leave a review to counter the negative one because clearly there is a misunderstanding. This is an excellent tool to check a dmx ports universe without bothering the programmer. That said, it requires the programmer to use a method at the console level to identify universes. Any programmer working in Film should know and should be using this method. It is too easy to setup, and too helpful to SLTs not too. This tester and another competitor version we're both a response to finding a smaller battery operated tester that could take advantage of this method. For that it does the job well. If anyone is unaware of this method of universe identifiers... The idea is to PARK the 512th DMX slot at the level corresponding with its universe. So the dmx testers only job is to read the level of the 512th channel. (Though is has ability to read any ch if you prefer) So.... Universe 1: 512 is @ 001 Universe 2: 512 is @ 002 The only caveat for programmers is to choose whether to input that level in 0-100 or 0-255 format and match that setting to your tester. 0-255 is best, more accurate more possible universes.
