How to use

Connect the interface to a computer via USB, install any required drivers or allow the operating system to recognize the device, and launch compatible DMX control software. Use a DMX cable to link the interface output to the DMX input of the first fixture in the chain. Configure the software to select the correct DMX output device and address the fixtures according to the lighting plan.
