A new improved version of DMX-Workshop, the free software application for lighting network management, analysis, configuration and diagnostics, is now available for download.
The latest update includes numerous improvements based on work done at February’s PLASA PlugFest in Lille.
The software offers functionality across many protocols, including Art-Net, sACN, DMX512, RDM, VLC and DALI. Key improvements include the curve editor for Artistic Licence’s PLASA Gold Award-winning trailing edge dimmer, sunDial.
Using DMX-Workshop, users can now define whether they want sunDial to generate a linear or log response. The latter results in a very smooth low end curve – a major benefit for dimmable replacement LED bulbs, which often perform poorly in this range.
In addition, Artistic Licence has put in significant R&D effort into developing custom curves for a growing range of widely available bulbs. The curves are freely available for anyone to download from the sunDial lamp research database, available here. Meanwhile, the free DMX-Workshop can also be downloaded from Artistic Licence’s website.
