scanner led

[Julien Levaufre]

I have tried to do my own fixture file for a scanner led but have a small problem, here is what i've done:
fixture "Scan LED"
{
   dimmer   msb         0   128,255

   strobe
   {
      offset   0
      control   1,127
   }
   color red      1   0,255
   color green      2   0,255
   color blue      3   0,255
}
My problem is about the stobe fonction as you can see is on the same chanel as the dimmer one, when i use my fixture file the strob fader in the programmer is enable but when i want to moove it it doesn't moove... So i don't understand maybe it comes from the way i write it???
If someone can help me
ANd i have an other question, my light is a scanner but i cannot control the miror via dmx so i don't add any pan and tilt line, so how can i have a scanner picture in cuelux for it?
Thanks,

hi Julien,

This will work in the upcoming v1.03.5 release.

You can 'force' this personality to become a scanner by adding: class "Scanner". E.g:

Code: [Select]

fixture "Scan LED"
{
     class "Scanner"
     dimmer   msb         0   128,255

Just curious Maarten.

What does MSB stand for?

Also what are the commands for other 'classes' e.g. fog

other classes are e.g. :

"Scanner"
 "Yoke spot"
 "Colour changer"
