Ed75 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Having installed first 7.9.9. and now 7.10 (including their respective libraries) I accidentally patched to 27-chan "lamp off" mode. Therefore the "lamp" channel (#23) had a "no function" title on the encoder wheel and didn't work at all. No lamp macro's were automatically created either . Now I patched the 27 ch "lamp on" mode and everything seems to work fine. (no fixture connected yet, playing around at home) What is the sense of the 27-ch "lamp off" mode in the fixture library? Can't think of any reason why it should be there? By the way, in the former library, (last one before 2.1) the Clay Paky Alpha HPE 300 file had some issues autocreating palettes and didn't have any macro's in it. (FLXS48 and 7.9.7. ) I had to make myself some lamp on / lamp off beam palettes for this. For me this problem is over now, after the updates.

Edward Z88 Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi Ed75, I haven't used one of these fixtures myself, but from memory they have a setting in the fixture's menu to enable or disable the ability to control the lamp via DMX. This option therefore has an affect on the personality used to control the fixture, hence there is a lamp on and lamp off variant for both modes. 1 hour ago, Ed75 said: For me this problem is over now, after the updates. Glad to hear it, thanks for letting us know. Edward Quote Edward Smith Product Specialist Email Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed75 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hi Edward, indeed these fixtures have this possibility. Lamp on/off via dmx in the fixturemenu. I didn't realize this had an effect on the personality. (it stays 27 channels) Thanks for your answer!! Quote Freelance Theatre Lighting designer/operator/allround technician/tech production/rental .
