Eos offline mode + DMX USB device

I am running my computer with the eos offline mode software. I have it connected to an Enttec dmx usb pro device for sending dmx signals. This link (http://www.etcconnect.com/community/wikis/products/knowledgebase-connecting-eos-ion-element-to-a-visualiser.aspx) indicates that the Eos software should work with this.  Now the software crashes instantly when I open it when the usb device is plugged in, and when I plug it in while the software is running it crashes after a few seconds.

This occurs with both the 1.9.8 and 1.9.0 software.

Is there any way to get this to work?

    Josh,

    The reference to the enttec device in that wiki article is as a receiver for DMX, not a transmitter.  If you have (for example) an ETCNet2 DMX Node connected to the network along with your offline computer, when you enable Offline output you can get a slowly updated DMX output from the Node.  The node's output could then potentially be run into a DMX to USB converter for use with a visualizer (the topic of the article).  We don't currently support any USB to DMX dongles for console output.
