I tried reversing pins 2 & 3 on the dmx cable. The light went completely berserk and was uncontrollable. I had previously also tried switching out cables, both dmx/data and mic, using wireless sticks, isolating each fixture, and using two different terminators. I think I can safely rule out cabling as the cause...

Swapping the pin-out is about the only thing that I have NOT yet tried. I may have time to do that after work today or tomorrow.
I don’t know if would do that.

I told you not to try that!  Not that it'll hurt anything, but that's along the lines of what will happen.  The pins 2 and 3 reversing was a Martin thing in the late 90s. 

Have you tried playing with any of the settings on your interface besides the DMX Speed?

When I first read this I wondered if you are using an immediate transition or a stepped?

Others told me to try it...that it wouldn't hurt anything. I only did it with one fixture that is not a part of my normal stage show. I like to use the Process-of-Elimination when problem solving. Now I know.

Oh, yes. I'd spent a few hours tweaking almost every setting in the thing. DMX speed was the only setting that got a result. Albeit, not a satisfactory result.
