I am quite surprised to see that there is no duration setting within the cues
Auto Cues would achieve this? https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/cue-settings/cue-triggers

(Also, worth noting that you're using quite old software by the looks of it - you can update here: https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/zeros-software)

Right here is a good option! Let us know the issue, and we’ll investigate it.

If you click that “Source” button at the top, ZerOS will tell you.

So does this mean that there is no prospect of an OSC output (to trigger external equipment)
21 minutes ago, Edward Z88 said:MIDI Out is on the poll above, but has a fairly low number of votes
Now we have OSC, I've reworded this poll option to be more inclusive: "Trigger outputs (e.g., OSC, MIDI, Vision.Net - to trigger 3rd Party devices from the console)". @Muller Light - get voting!

ZerOS 7.11 has been released which fulfils "Colour mixing with mutli-emiter LEDs (eg, Amber, UV, Lime, Cyan etc)" - so I've removed this option from the poll. At the time, it was at 8.83% with 25 votes, making it the highest voted feature.
On 8/31/2022 at 4:24 PM, Jon Hole said:ZerOS 7.13 has been released which fulfils "Fixture builder within ZerOS" (6.82% with 21 votes) and "GDTF support" (0.65% with 2 votes) - so I've removed these options from the poll.
ZerOS 7.14 has been released which fulfils "OSC triggering" so I've removed this option from the poll. At the time, it was at 2.56% with 8 votes. I've reached out to those who voted for "DMX In over ethernet" (1.6% with 5 votes) to ask if their need was just "DMX In", or specifically "over ethernet" (as we didn't differentiate between these). Based on the feedback, I believe the DMX In functionality introduced in ZerOS 7.14 mostly fulfils this need and so I have removed this option from the poll too - we can always add it back if there's a specific need for DMX In over ethernet.

There isn’t, but you could probably achieve the same using Inhibit Playbacks - essentially creating a Grand Master of just some channels?

PS I've been up all night trying to write scripts for TouchOSC.
Let us know how you get on with the integration into ZerOS beta... there will be a new beta soon fixing a few of the pesky OSC bugs.

(Sorry, old reference there which you might not pick up on given your more tender years! 🤣)
I was a big fan of Paul Daniels as a kid!
18 minutes ago, kgallen said:Why the two different mechanisms - was this deliberately and knowingly different
This actually changed in ZerOS 7.10. Before that, the syntax wasn't available on FLX. When we made it available on FLX, we also changed its behaviour to scale. It's all about when we think these two features are most likely to be used:
- The Intensity Wheel is usually used to adjust the intensity of fixtures whilst looking at the stage (when multiple fixtures are selected, they are often all the same intensity). Just like a fader, the wheel can adjust the fixtures down to 0% and up to 100%. Therefore, adjusting the value relative to its current value makes sense. If the intensity wheel scaled based on a fixture's current value, it would be impossible to adjust a fixture at 0% using the intensity wheel!
- Syntax (such as @-20) is most useful to say "I like this scene but make it 20% dimmer" - meaning 20% of their current intensity, not 20% of their maximum intensity.

Also content wise, it reads more as a ‘reference manual’ than a user manual
2 hours ago, Davidmk said:So my take would be a separate "how to" guide giving you the workflow
2 hours ago, Davidmk said:Flowcharts could be a big part of it too. An online version could include links to the manual
I guess not too dissimilar to what we already have with this page: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/add-fixtures/missing-fixtures

How do you present the Neo manual?
The Neo manual is currently here, but we're not 100% happy with it either: https://neofamily.helpdocs.io/

I was perusing the ETC ColorSource manual
This is just a PDF, right? Is the issue actually that we need a better PDF option? As that might be more achievable.

you guys belong to Vari-lite aka Philips now
20 minutes ago, Edward Z88 said:We are indeed part of Vari-Lite. Not Philips though - Vari-Lite are owned by "Signify".
As @Edward Z88says, Vari-Lite are NOT part of Philips, we are part of Signify. Philips announced it was splitting off it's lighting division back in 2014. Temporarily it was called "Philips Lighting", but in May 2018 the name changed to Signify - so five years ago and two years before Zero 88 joined Signify (in March 2020).
ZerOS 7.9.8, 7.9.9, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12 and 7.13 have all been launched in that time - so I don't think there's any worry about reduced software development 🙂

Thanks Mike, we've forwarded these onto our IT team to investigate. Sorry that we're still experiencing the problems

I'm afraid that the FLX power supply could have problems.
The full-size FLX has protection on the USB ports - if a device tries to pull more power than is allowed, power to the USB port will be cut off to protect the stability of the main console. That said, you obviously don't want your Wing or Mouse to suddenly cut out, so we'd always recommend a powered external hub.

How to set date and time with FLX S
in FLX S24 & FLX S48
Posted
Oh yes it does! But it’s automatically hidden if you’re filtering by a “FLX S” variant: https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/settings
“All ZerOS consoles except FLX S have an internal clock. Press the Date & Time button on the monitor to open the Set Date and Time window. Enter the correct time, day, month and year in the fields provided and then confirm by selecting the OK button. This setting is especially important when using Real Time cue triggers.”
