DP2000 / Artnet Mode

Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this, I couldn't decide on the best place for it.

Got a Hog3 and separate PC setup, Got a DP8000 when the s/w did away with the DP2000 but have come across a small issue,

We're trying to use it in art-net mode, all works fine, except the output was really erratic. Then i realised it was running in 75HZ mode, I've tried to re-flash it using v 3.1.9 which i believe is the last supported version, and within the PC software, the device reads as running at 25Hz but I can't change it, and the device sits in 75hz mode irrespective of what device (console or PC) it's connected to.

Any newer devices show the DP2k as "Incompatible software version" as I'd expect (3.2.0 and above)

Could anyone please offer some advice as to what i'm doing wrong? - I was hoping to still get use from this unit.

The unit receives art-net as expected, and spits out DMX, it's just at the wrong refresh rate I believe.

Many Thanks
Dean.

    I took a look at your picture, and it is exactly what I thought.....
    You are seeing the processor speed for the DP-2000.....75 Mhz.

    The very earliest DPs had a 50 Mhz processor that proved to be far too weak to handle the work loads thrown at it, so an upgrade occurred to 75 Mhz (which as we know also was not really robust enough in the end, but far better).

    Ever since, the display of the DP-2000 has shown the processor speed to the right of the software version.
    This has nothing to do with the DMX refresh rate.

    How are you getting ArtNet to the DP?
    What is your source, switches, other devices, etc....

    ****EDIT**** Also, to be clear, the picture shows the DP in "HogNet" mode, in "ArtNet" mode the screen has a dark background with light text (inverted from HogNet mode), just want to be sure your DP is set to the correct mode as well. ****

    Hope this helps. :)
