Hi Pete

 

To patch the fixtures, you must first assign them. To do this, go into the <Assign Fixtures> menu in Setup, then press on one of the multi function keys to the right of the main LCD. Then select the manufacturer and model of fixture you are using, and select <Assign>

 

Now you must patch that fixture to a DMX address. To do this, go to the <DMX Patch> menu and select the multi function key which you assigned the fixture to. Now select the DMX address field on the Main LCD and enter the address required using the MFKs.

 

Once you exit Setup, your fixture should move to 'Home' to show that it has been correctly assigned.

 

 

 

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.

hey, i have assigned the move model to the desk and patched it, but i cant work out how to bring the bulb on, the light is moving around on the faders and i can hear the gobos moving inside etc, just need to work out how to turn the actual lamp on!!

First of all, press the HOME button - if the fixture profile is one in our master library, that should set it to 50/50 Pan & Tilt, Open Colour, Open Gobo, Full Brightness. Check also that the Grand Master fader is up, and that the LED in the Blackout button isn't flashing.

 

If that doesnt work, its worth investigating whether the fixture has a Shutter which is closed.

 

Also, is the fixtures lamp on internally. If not, you'll need to perform the Lamp On routine, which will be described in the user manual for the fixture. It'll be something like holding the Lmp/Res channel at a certain value for a couple of seconds. Alternatively there is normally also a menu option on the fixture to do this for you.

 

 

I hope this helps
