setting shutter/strobe separately from dimmer level ?

[johng]

Hi,

 

I Recently got a jester24ML - so I am a novice...

 

Loaded up the fixture files that match my robe clubscan 250's and am successfully using them. However...

 

In the fixture library for that device the dimmer level that triggers e.g. strobe/reset has not been split out or limited - so you can take the dimmer level past 38% and accidentally trigger reset or strobing or program run etc. The details in the dimmer parameter list these different behaviours and the dmx values that trigger them but I haven't been able to work out the best (or any !) way of splitting these out logically, and in a way that works with the jester24ML.

 

So, what I'm not clear on is:

1. Can i limit the dimmer value so that the dmx value of that parameter will never go above a certain value ? What is the best way of doing this ? That would enable me to have a dimmer channel that just takes the fixture from fully closed to fully open with no risk of accidentally hitting the reset value.

2. Can I create a separate virtual parameter that takes the dimmer channel e.g. to the strobe value ? And would I do this by adding a paramter or creating a sub-fixture ?

3. Am I on entirely the wrong path here, and I should for example be using some other desk functions for doing this, rather than monkeying about with the fixture library ?

 

Thanks for any help or guidance,

 

John.

Hi John

 

Unfortunately this sort of limiting for the Dimmer control isn't supported in any Zero 88 product at present. This may change in future, but at present the software cannot limit the control in the way you describe.

 

Kind Regards,
