Fixtures losing signal

I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section. I am new to the forum and lighting in general. I am running Hog4 PC in a club I work at. Self taught and programmed everything my self. I recently have encountered the first problem I have not been able to fix on my own. Several of the fixtures lose their signal from the PC. They behave erratically, shut off, sometimes turn on 100% intensity and position randomly. They won't take any input from the programmer. My suspicion is that my hog dmx widget is going bad (if that is possible). Or maybe one of the wires/connectors. Does anyone know if this is likely or possibly the problem. Any advice is much appreciated. I apologize again, new here and self taught on all the lighting stuff. Thank you

  • Awesome, thank you guys.
    Michael, a "bad data run" means messed up signals going through a particular line? I get what you are saying from the context but couldn't find the definition anywhere. Knowing proper terminology is an area I'm seriously lacking as well.

    I will start with the terminator and go from there. There is also a couple of architectural rgb lights that have begun flickering. Back in tomorrow I am going to start with the suggestions. I think if the widget was the issue all lights would be going out that are run through that widget. Thanks again
