The Artistic Licence NanoScope is a powerful DMX512/RDM, battery-powered tester, built into a 5-pin XLR connector.
In 'Pixel Mode', nanoScope simply displays the first three DMX channels as an RGB mix. This allows NanoScope to be used as a pixel mimic to provide confidence that the expected data is on the cable.
In 'Analysis Mode', nanoScope displays a sequence of coloured blips, that represent different attributes of the DMX512 signal. The sequence comprises one long blip followed by a train of short blips.

A recessed slide-switch is mounted into the end of the nanoScope. This is used as a power on/off switch and to select Pixel and Analysis modes.
Pixel Mode
In Pixel Mode, NanoScope simply displays the first three DMX channels as an RGB mix. This allows NanoScope to be used as a pixel mimic to provide confidence that the expected data is on the cable.
Analysis Mode
In Analysis Mode, NanoScope displays a sequence of coloured blips, that represent different attributes of the DMX512 signal. The sequence comprises one long blip followed by a train of short blips:.
Long Blip
The long blip will be either green or red to indicate overall good or bad data respectively.
Short Blips
The train of short blips can contain: .
- Orange: Break Length out of range, less than 88uS (an error)
- Magenta: Mark After Break (MaB), less than 8uS (an error)
- Yellow: Framing error (an error but does occur legitimately during RDM discovery)
- Red: RDM data format wrong (an error)
- Pink: Packet too long, contains more than 512 channels (an error)
- Cyan: Less than 512 channels in data (informational)
- Warm White: Non-Zero start codes (excluding RDM) detected (usually informational but can be an error)
- Green: RDM detected in data (informational)
- Mint: RDM draft detected in data (informational)UV Blue: RDM responses detected (informational)
- Ice Blue: DMX Test Packets detected (informational)
More Detail
If you need to monitor the DMX512 channel in more detail, we recommend you consider the Micro-Scope-3a.
