[spiritbacking]

we have a fat frog desk and we are trying to use 4 chauvet technoscan 250r scanners on it but the machine cannot see them are interacte with them,

i have got the fixture settings from zero 88 site for the lights but i still have no joy with them.

can anyone help?

Have you patched the fixtures after assigning them? To do this, go into Super User, Desk Setup, Patch Functions, Manual Patch. Press the fixture select button and enter the DMX address of the fixture.

 

If you have done this, check the cabling. Its possible that the fixtures require a phase-reversed DMX signal.

 

One quick way to check whether its a desk problem or a fixture problem is to re-address the fixture to DMX1, then use the manual faders to control the fixture. If this fails to work, the problem is likely to be between the desk and the fixture (cabling, settings on the fixture, etc).

 

Hope this helps you get it sorted. If you're still having problems, let me know and I'll post some more advice.
