Post by: AxelF on December 11, 2013, 08:40:52 PM
Currently my Briteq Spectra is defect so I have another laser effect here:

      Showtec Galactic FX RGB-480

Unfortunatly I cannot find a pdf in the web, so I must scan the manual and mail it to you.

Regards
Axel

Hello Axel,

Please mail the scan to: support <at> visualproductions <dot> nl
You could also try the "Chauvet Scorpion Scan 3D EU" personality, this could be the same unit.

Dennis,

I have taken a look now and it seems to be not implemented correctly.

With ch1(dmxAdr+0) you can select between 1 channel mode (use 0 - 234) and 19 channel mode ( > 235).

So in the 19 channel mode ch1 must always be > 235.

Regards
Axel

Got your email
So in the 19 channel mode ch1 must always be > 235.
According to the manual Ch1 needs to be >= 235 and this is exactly what the personality does.
Unless you enable the macro/standalone function

Ok, it was another problem.

The fixture works perfect.

It is not possible to switch off the beam - not in standalown and not in normal mode.

Did you try to close the shutter? This will set Ch1 to zero

No, doesn't work.

If I use the standalown mode, I can select the programs with "Macr". There are the numbers 1 - 11 and the "--". I thought this "--" should switch off the beam....

Edit:
I have now taken a look into your XML: It doesn't fit at the ch1:

If the value is 19 - 234 the internal programs are selected. This should be "standalowne", together with macros.

If ch1 > 235 the other 18 channels become active...

It is not possible in Cuelux to switch personality mode (or disable controls) based on macro/standalone function.
Normally when a fixture has multiple auto programs + music control we pick one of the music modes as Stand-alone and put everything else as Macro (if possible). The shutter is used to disable light output (Ch1=0).
When Macro is set to "--", Cuelux will try to set the channel to a "free" spot, in this case its 235 so you control the fixutre using the other contols in the programmer.

Dennis,

I have tried it now and works as you describe.

Anyway an external person needs some hints, what you have thought when you implemented it.
