Ian_p Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Hi. Another puzzler - I have some Stairville Showbar pro 16wx10, and as I’ve split the 6 into different groups - I had to create another new fixture. I used the same one as I had created for the others, and when bringing up the intensity it immediately strobes. The default strobe value is 255, I wind this off to zero, press record, fixture button, then the ‘home’ symbol and select default. All good. however the moment I start to try to use it again - it has flipped back to strobe value of 255. This is frustrating as I believe I am following the process to set the default - but it just won’t stick. any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

DALX Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) The default setting for when creating a fixture for Strobe is 255 but most fixtures want a default setting of zero. I set this default to zero when creating a new fixture, but occasionally forget to and have to go back and edit the default value for strobe to zero. The manual for your bar shows strobe as 0...255 Stroboscopic effect (o% to 100%) Edited March 19 by DALX left out set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To store values for a fixture that is currently @ 0% intensity, you must make sure that the "SmartTag" funciton is off in the Record Options. Therefore: Select your fixtures Adjust the Strobe parameter to the required value, and adjust no other parameters Press and hold Record to open the Record Options Ensure that "SmartTag" is disabled. If the button has a red stripe, tap it so it goes blue Double tap RECORD Tap the Home icon Choose to store as "Default" Hope this helps. 1 Quote Edward Smith Product Specialist Email Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_p Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 Thanks Edward - to be honest I managed to get the strobe to stick to 0 - but not via the above - I just tried to do it as I had above and on the 5th time it worked. Not sure if or what I did different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
