I was putting my desk away this evening when I noticed a rattle inside. Took the cover off (very careful about the cables between the halves) and discovered a screw had come out. Retrieved the screw, found where it should have been (on the back of the screen assembly) and replaced it. Put the covers back on. Ran the self test (all good on faders and buttons). Noticed the Other Test tab, thought I'd take a look and spotted the Do NVR Test. Tried that and got Load Pattern Buffer failed. Restarted the desk normally. On version 7.14 Start up text included... Preparing NVR Shadow Buffer ... Initialising data NVR retention check Ok Desk seems to be working OK and I get sensible looking DMX output without framing errors or flicker. Should I be worried about the NVR thing?

You can load a user fixture definition into the console using the normal Load function. It will be available for this show and any subsequent show (until you do a Factory Reset, Clear User Files or upgrade ZerOS). When you patch it, it will appear in the fixture list in red, which means it's a non-library fixture. That's just fine (I have lots). When you save your showfile the fixture definition will be saved with it. Go for it.

@Davidmk just replied to your eMail. In summary - I don't believe the "Load pattern buffer" fail message is anything to worry about - the NVR ram test seems to have worked OK (and the test never seems to work on Solutions I test so it might belong to another 'level' of FP test like the LCD Calibration routine on Solutions.
