I am having no luck. PLEASE HELP. Cheers Quote Dom Gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Please note, the following is from memory, and may be for a vari*lite, but I think it works for a mac too: The rotating/indexing gobo wheel has two sets of ranges on the one channel - ie you go through the gobo wheel on the control channel twice, the first time the gobo will index, the second time it will rotate. ie: step 1 : gobo 1 index step 2 : gobo 2 index step 3 : gobo 3 index step 4 : gobo 1 rotate step 5 : gobo 2 rotate step 6 : gobo 3 rotate (I know there are more that three gobos, but hopefully this explains a bit) It may not seem very clear, but the dmx allocation thing in the manual should help..

K-Nine Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 According to the DMX data I have on the MAC 500: Channel 5 is the Rotating Gobo Selection - To select a gobo for indexing set a value in the range 0-155; to select a gobo for rotation, set a value between 156-255. This parameter is displayed as "RotGobo" on the wheel LCD. Channel 6 is the Rotating Gobo Index/Rotation - 0-2 is static, 3-127 is CCW rotation from slow to fast, 128-251 is CW rotation fast to slow and 252-255 is static. This parameter is displayed as "Ind/Rot" on the wheel LCD.
