Cannot connect to ENTTEC DMX USB PRO #61

Issue:
I cannot connect to my ENTTEC interface.

System:
Windows 10, D2XX driver, ENTTEC DMX USB PRO, connected via COM3.

Details:
Note: This issue may be due to lack of documentation (or maybe I'm just dumb).
The device works as it should with other programs, including TD. The device is detected & sends a signal automatically with the dmxout CHOP in TD.

If I were more well versed, I'd probably know what to make of the 'rate multiplier' & 'output length' options. I doubt they're the reason my device isn't connecting, but I'm not completely certain. Bonus points if you can point me in the right direction for choosing the correct values of those :)

Is this a bug or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Potential workaround:
Is the dmx output handled by the dmxout CHOP, or by a script? If it's the latter, could you tell me how to exit Perform Mode so I could patch in my own dmxout CHOP? I was able to exit Perform Mode and get at the skeleton over a year ago, but the TD hotkeys responsible for this aren't working.

Lastly:
This is an amazing product. As an LD I've dreamed of something like this for a while. Stumbled across this project almost two years ago, but was way over my head in understanding how to use it. I've been following it since. I've since become an SWE- dove back into it and got it (almost) all working today. I'm gushing about it to all my LD buddies, and hope to contribute someday soon. I've already thinking about a script to generate custom fixtures from OpenLightingProject files.
