 The FB4 hardware is equipped with a serial port that is capable of generating DMX output for control of DMX controllable hardware inside Laser Projectors. This DMX function does not require the FB4 DMX daughter board to operate. You can use this serial port for control for diffraction gratings and other hardware internal to the laser projector. This means that when the in the software DMX is enabled, the FB4 is able to forward incoming DMX signals through the serial port. The FB4 hardware is equipped with a serial port that is capable of generating DMX output for control of DMX controllable hardware inside Laser Projectors.
