That's odd because it takes me to this page of the manual. Near the bottom of that page there's a link (see 1st attachment) and that opens a new mail in my maill app (outlook - see 2nd attachment). This is on Android.

I think you'll find cue 1 has always had a zero time but you've never noticed it. The manual says... Cue 1, will always have a 0 second fade up and fade down time for intensity. This is to ensure that the intensity follows the level of the playback fader. Check here for more information. (Incidentally, when @Edward Z88 checks the forum he'll likely move your post to the FLX S thread.)

I think it's selecting the fixture button that spoils it so it should be... press record then the ‘home’ symbol and select default No doubt @Edward Z88 will be along in the morning to confirm or correct this.

ZerOS 7.15 mettra à niveau toutes les consoles FLX S24 et FLX S48 vers 2048 canaux (quatre univers) et 96 et 192 appareils respectivement gratuitement. Les lectures, groupes et palettes disponibles seront également doublés.

@kgallen has said it all really. You will be missed by the user community and, I'm sure, by your colleagues. Wishing you the best in your future endeavours. Every confidence in @Edward Z88 and @Jon Hole but this is still a pity.

@kgallen It's HTP that's the issue. As you say an inhibit taken to zero would take them out but you have to take it down to do it and I don't think the macro could replicate taking a fader to zero, besides you'd need it to go back up again on releasing the UDK. Am I right in thinking that PB settings include intensity as LTP? If so, would a PB with those fixtures at zero with LTP intensity and release on lower do the trick? (Not an inhibit or they'll never come on). Leave the fader alone and use the flash button. Not sure this would work either and don't have time to try it out or check the manual.

Well, I've just downloaded and installed the latest update to Capture 2023 (for which I am licensed) and the Quartet PC is there... But, if you are using the student edition then I expect you have read the limitations - if not then they say... Capture 2023 Student Edition The Student Edition of Capture is a free version of Capture that may be used for any purpose, educational or not. Feature-wise it is based on the Solo Edition, with the following differences: Unlimited number of DMX universes. Reduced amount of trusses and fixtures in the library. The full list of fixtures is available here. Motion (DMX movers, DMX rotators and motion constructs) and effects (CO2, fire and water jets) are not available. Opens and saves Student Edition project files only. Does not export Capture Presentation files. All console connectivity options except MA-Net3 are present and fully functional. and will have checked out the link to available fixtures which, sadly, does not include your specific models. Are you a student at an establishment which has an education licence for Capture? If so then speak to your tutor as they may be able to help. If no then, for the purposes of trying out effects and seeing roughly how your programming will look then you will need to use the closest available fixtures from the reduced set available in the student edition. Free editions of software will always have some limitations - nobody would pay for a licence if they didn't - and Capture student appears to have what you need to set students a design task and for them to complete the assignment.

I can't check this because I have a Capture licence but I don't think you can do much without a licence except load the dockhouse file and use it as it stands. Obviously you need to load the dockhouse show file into your desk or phantom ZerOS as well.

Wild guess... The chauvets have a colour temp channel, the ads don't.

I'd be very surprised if it was a desk fault if it is patched correctly. Check the desk has the same DMX address and mode as the fixture (and the Strand desk if you want to be thorough). Check against the actual fixture, do not assume that it is the same as others of the same type. If it isn't that then I suspect it will be hard to find, here are some things you can try which may give you more information even if they don't fix it. In no particular order... You should probably check that none of the pins in the XLR plug at the desk are connected to the shell. Correct the wiring if they are. If you have other fixtures of the same type, try setting one of them to the same address as the errant fixture. Also try setting the errant fixture to the same address as a working one of the same type. Disconnect the DMX out of the problem fixture. Then try a terminator in it's place. With each fixture before the problem one in the DMX cable run, remove the DMX in and out and connect them together. If you have enough DMX cable (or can de-rig the fixture) try connecting it directly to the desk. If you have (or can borrow) a DMX tester with a flicker finder use that at the back of the desk and in the place of the fixture. Try changing the DMX transmission from continuous to Delta (or Delta to continuous) - see manual here Have a look at the desk output for the fixture (see manual here). Check what it is telling the fixture by looking in the fixture's manual. If all of that fails to give you a clue then obtain a manual to the dark arts of wizardry or wait for advice from others on the forum.

You patch them on the desk in the same way you would if it was a wired connection although you won't be able to use RDM unless the lumenradio handles it. See the manual here for details on patching.

The link provided by @Edward Z88 is the right one. The link I supplied gets you the latest library and the fixture editor but, unless I've missed it, not the contact for getting new fixtures. Edward's takes you to the online manual and a link in that opens an email for requesting a new fixture. @Edward Z88: Am I mistaken in thinking the forum topic used to go direct to fixture requests? (Or does it still but I failed to find it?)

Requests for new fixtures should be made in this topic Fixture Support & profile requests. You need to include details of the fixture - ideally a link to or scan of the manual. Daresay @Edward Z88 will see this and pick it up but I suspect the proper route is quicker.

Thanks Ian, for this and your email. Fast 7 knowledgeable as always.

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?
