Fixture Library Version 20 Released

[Kirkup_xp]

Zero 88 Fixture Library - Version 20

 

Contains 1926 fixtures from 142 different manufacturers. For a list of fixtures in the library ... CLICK HERE.

 

The library is released in 2 formats:

- a full unfiltered version for desks which have USB (Frog2, LeapFrog48/96, JesterML) and offline PC tools.

-a smaller filtered version for desks which have floppy disk drives (original Frog series, Illusion500). This has some additional data removed so that the file will fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk. It is recommended that the floppy disk be freshly formatted before copying the library onto it.

 

The correct format of the library for your desk can be downloaded from the relevant product support page.

The files are zipped, and must be unzipped before they can be used. If you experience problems using the built-in zip file functions of Windows XP, then try Winzip. The library (.ift file) should be placed in the root directory of the floppy disk or USB stick.

 

Frog 2 and Leap Frog 48/96 - The latest fixture library is automatically installed on the desk as part of each operating software update, however this can be updated from USB if required in Setup -> Files -> Update Fixture File.

 

JesterML - The fixture library is installed on the desk at manufacture, however this can be updated from USB if required in Setup -> Update Fixture Lib -> Update Library.

 

Frog Series and Illusion 500 - the fixture library should be copied to a floppy disk.

 

Diablo - the fixture library is used with the Diablo Fixture Manager PC software.

 

Sirius 250/500 - use the Fixture Type Editor to import fixture personalities from the fixture library, and then use the 'Export Sirius UFT' function (under the 'File' menu) to generate data in the correct format for the Sirius 250/500.

 

Further details of assigning fixtures on the desk to fixture types in the fixture library can be found in each desk's operating manual.

 

If you need a fixture personality which is not in the library, then you can create this yourself using the Fixture Type Editor. Alternatively if you post a link to the manufacturers datasheet on the forum, we will endeavour to add the fixture in the next library release.
