View Fixture Channel Information

[DALX]

I have patched three ProShop Pluto 2000 (also called LEDMOV530) into my FLXS24. There is no light output when I first put the fader to max, when I select a colour using the Colour tab I get a light output of that colour. But the light is flickering or strobing. I have looked at the strobe channel encoder wheel and it has a default of 0%.

How do I extract a fixture file from the ZerOS Library to view the channel details using the Fixture Type Editor. Is this the correct way to confirm the Pluto2000 Person2 fixture file channels match the manual. Thanks.

You should be able to use the on-desk Fixture Creator to do this (although I never have!).

Let me see if I can find a manual reference…

This might be helpful as well...

I have checked the Show Technology Pluto 2000 in PERSON2 mode, and the DMX map/parameter defaults in the ZerOS Library appear to match the information in the fixture's manual. The Shutter/Strobe parameter is correctly defaulting to 0 (no strobe).

Fixtures in the ZerOS Library can be extracted in the .zfix format. However, the "old" Zero 88 Fixture Editor cannot open .zfix files. As @kgallen & @Davidmk have mentioned, fixtures in the ZerOS Library can be edited in the ZerOS fixture creator.

Have you tried controlling the fixture in any of the other modes? Does the same issue occur in all modes?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am using the Pluto 2000 at a show in a UWA theatre, they were patched into an ION desk using the etc library. The Pluto 2000 strobed when trying to use pan so it looks like an undocumented firmware change in the display control board in three Pluto 2000 zoom wash I recently replaced. Wil have to chase up the service centre. The fixtures worked ok in 16 channel mode on the ION. Will have to wait 2 weeks to do more tests as The Gondoliers starts a 2 week season on Thursday.
