Hallo Zero88,

 

during the work with LeapFrog 48 I`m annoying the following function:

 

if you adjust the dimmer values over the dimmer fader, they will be sent to the output actively. But the question is:

Why are they resetted during reset of program (clear-button) while the faders resist at their positions?

 

Wouldn't it be better if the dimmer-output fits to the fader-settings and only the changed dimmer values (optional all of them) are tagged?

 

Further it would be nice to have the possibility to set the the ip-address and subnetmask manually.

 

I would be appreaciate about an answer!

 

Bye

If you switch the faders into "HTP Mix" mode in Setup/Desk Setup/Behaviour/Preset Mix Mode, you will find that they stay on even when the programmer is cleared :) The only thing to watch in HTP mix mode is the fact that you can't "grab" a level to bring it down, and instead must either use command syntax or selecting the channels to edit their levels (set the Flash Mode to "Off/Select" and press the preset flash button to select the channel, then use the fixture wheels to adjust the dimmer).

 

I generally leave my preset faders in LTP Mix mode for programming, but switch to HTP Mix during playback as this means I can manually add channels without activating the programmer (and hence the Clear LED)

 

We are expanding the ethernet options immensely in the next release of software, and I imagine that manual IP address settings will become part of this update.

 

I hope this is of help to you.
