VENTURA, CA - Swisson has released a new firmware for its DMX Measurement Tool XMT-120A and for the RDM Controller/DMX Tester XMT-350 adding the functionality of an advanced Flicker Finder to your XMT-120A or XMT-350. Monitoring each and every value sent over your DMX line while the console is sending a non-changing DMX look, the Flicker Finder will find and report the smallest glitch whether it manifests itself as an altered DMX value, as a framing error, as a changed number of received channels, or as a loss of the signal. No matter what the nature of the glitch is, the Flicker Finder will let you know exactly what happened immediately while monitoring a DMX signal. After scanning for flickers, an overview report and a per channel report provide even more information about any occurred glitch or flicker. For more details, visit Swisson.com
