The free ArtNetMon utility displays DMX data transmitted by Show Buddy Active in realtime. This is really handy for checking that the values sent to your fixtures are correct - especially of you have a preset which is behaving strangely.
This also displays the data being sent to a USB interface box. It does not require you to use Art-Net to control your rig.
Just download and install the ArtNetMon utility onto the same computer you run Show Buddy Active from. Then click the "Universes..." button and add a new Art-Net output (Unicast to 127.0.0.1) as follows:
Now, run ArtNetMon, and it will display the DMX data being sent to your USB and/or Art-Net interfaces.
