I bought a second DMX 512 in order to keep house lights on one universe and intelligent lights that I own on another. Besides wanting to keep them separate for billing purposes, there are not enough channels left on Universe 1 for my lights.
After working all week to get my lights installed, I started to program when I discovered that the 2nd Universe is not being recognized. I have tried a few things while troubleshooting. I tested both boxes independently and they will both work on Universe 1. I have loaded identical fixtures on identical dmx channels in both Universes and my lights operate on Universe 1, but not Universe 2. I get good signal lights on both DMX interfaces and I have tested all cables. Of course I assured the DMX was enabled on the software in both Universes and tested both Universes in the 3D viewer. I am using Ver 7.132 - 150108 software and it recognizes two interfaces when the software loads.
I am now out of time and hope to spend all tomorrow evening programming for a show Thursday night. Without both Universes I will not be able to proceed. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm missing? How does the software know which Universe is assigned to which interface? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
