RGBW 4ch - runs the same RGBW pattern but outputs to 4 channel pixels.
Smart Receiver Out
The Smart Receiver Out page is used to output signals to smart (and normal or “dumb” receivers). If you have incoming
Smart Receiver data, this data will be ignored while in this page and output the selected receiver output. Receiver
protocols are very similar to each other in many circumstances. Because of this, seeing pixels light up does not
guarantee you have the matching protocol chosen for the receiver.
Note: The F-Test will have to have a power supply attached, either through the USB port or the Pixel Input.
Pressing the Up and Down buttons will navigate through the available options in the highlighted menu item. The Next
button will move the highlighted selection to the next item in the Menu. The close button will take you back to the Main
Menu.
The screen displays the following data:
Brand- this is the type of smart receiver protocol you are sending out. It determines how many receivers there
are in the chain and the protocol used. You can select the following options:
o
Dumb- This works with pretty much every receiver on the market. Only one receiver can be attached
and it will test up to 1400 pixels on that receiver.
o
Falcon V3- (Typically red or white boards.)This will send 100 pixels of data to each of the 3 receivers.
o
Falcon V4- (Typically blue boards.) This will send 100 pixels of data to each of the 6 receivers. This also
works with Genius receivers.
o
FPP V1- (Typically black boards.) This is actually identical to Falcon V3.
o
FPP V2 - (Typically black boards.) This will send 100 pixels of data to each of the 6 receivers.
o
Hinkspix- This will send 30 pixels of data to each of the 16 receivers. The receivers are configured every
few seconds and given the nature of the Hinkspix protocol, once you stop testing them and reconnect
them to your controller, you will need to reset the controller to reset the receiver configuration.
Receiver- This selection is used to identify which receivers you want to receive the data. All sends the data to all
receivers in the chain. If you select a specific receiver then only that receiver will receive the test pattern. All the
other receivers will be sent "off" pixel data.
Pattern- This item allows you to select what output test pattern you want to use. The patterns are the same as
the
with the exception that the Count patterns are not available and a Number pattern is an
additional option. The Number pattern uses the first four pixels on the string to indicate what port they are
connected to and the remainder to indicate which receiver in the chain. For example, let’s assume BBB V2 Smart
