Signal Generator Interface

The Signal Generator interface generates DMX lighting data for tests. It provides a simple way to verify DMX output and lighting setups without requiring external controllers.

Input (Signal Generator)

The application generates DMX data based on the selected waveform type.

Settings

Setting	Description
Wave Type	The type of waveform to generate: Sine, Square, or Sawtooth.

Note: The frequency is fixed at 0.2 Hz (1/5) to provide consistent, predictable test patterns.

Wave Types

• Sine Wave: value = floor(((sin((t·f + i/512)·2π) + 1) / 2) · 255)
• Square Wave: value = (t·f + i/512) % 1 < 0.5 ? 0 : 255
• Sawtooth Wave: value = floor(((t·f + i/512) % 1) · 255)

Where:

• t = elapsed time in seconds
• f = frequency (fixed at 0.2 Hz)
• i = channel index (0-511)
