NSTALLATION
1.
Clicking on the DMXQConnect icon will start DMXQConnect. A
DMXQConnect graphic will appear briefly. Verify that the user name shown
is correct. Then after a few seconds, a combination status and work area
screen will appear.
2. A small window will appear, prompting you to enter an initial show name.
You can use any number of characters for this, then click on OK.
3. The user name should appear at the top of the screen, along with the new
show name.
4. Three separate areas (panes) should now fill most of the screen. The
largest, at left, is identified as “Non-Connected Stations”. Point your mouse
at the top left-most header in this pane and click and drag the right side of
this header to the right until you can read “Station Name” in the header and
the full default station names in the column below. Do the same for the top
right pane, identified as “Source”, and the lower right “Connected Stations”
pane. Default station and source names should appear only in the Non-
Connected Stations and Source panes.
5. Try clicking once on one of the default station names. This name should
now appear in the Station Detail pane directly above the Non-Connected
Station pane.
The test is finished! Your PC has now been verified to run DMXQConnect
properly.
