DMX Pro Manager - reinstall firmware and reset settings to default, seems to have worked.
This makes me happy! Thanks for the help!.

Re: SOLVED: DMXIS suddenly acting sluggish and chases are choppy
Used a different computer and got Entec Pro Manager to work. I reloaded the firmware on both of my dongles (they showed that they were on the current version, so I just re-flashed) After I did, I checked the settings Both of my dongles showed these settings: packet refresh rate - 40 (default is 25) ...

Masking is the work-a-round I needed! I set up a starter scene with the mover on and focus un-masked. I'll adjust and save that preset at the beginning of each night..

Is there a way to say set channel 266, in all banks and scenes, to the dmx value of, say, 193.
Instead of doing percentage increases/decreases?

Can you PLEASE make DMXIS able to maximize to take up the whole screen? Please?
On my 11" netbook, it only takes up 1/2 the screen
At a gig, in the heat of battle ..... it's REALLY hard to see!

I MIDI learned all 512 channels of DMX to an external fader bank. All 512 channels seperately mapped to faders on different layers.

fwiw, I'm using it 1.6.8 (on Windows 10 - 64 bit) and it works great.
The ability to De-Select is a HUGE help for a fumble fingered mouse user like me.
Thank you!

Re: Please let us maximize standalone DMXIS!
I run DMXIS on a 11" netbook. The DMXIS window is TINY.
This is the ONLY program of any type that I have that won't maximize.
I love DMXIS, but there are some little things like this that fixing them would make it even MORE lovable!
