Patching a 4BAR LT (Chauvet) to a ColorSource40 Console

Question

Has anyone had any success in patching a Chauvet 4BAR LT to a Colorsource40 console? I am able to patch the units using a generic library profile. But I cannot access the individual heads (pods) of the 4BAR LT. I was able to do this easily by using the dmx channel for each head listed in the 4BAR LT manual. Thus far, I have been unable to discover where I could input the channel values on the ColorSource40. (I did try the Chauvet library personality files listed in the Library but they are for different Chauvet units and did not work as well as the generic profile.) (The console firmware and library version are current and up to date.)

ColorSource supports one color picker per desk channel. - You'll have noticed that the personality editor only lets you have one set of RGB. 
 To get individual control, each "pod" must be patched as a separate desk channel. 
 It's hard to give advice without the manual or your attempt at creating a personality. 
 Assuming this fixture works the same as the Chauvet 4Bar, I would suggest that you create a personality for the "global" parameters (Color Macro, Intensity, Strobe) and then patch each Pod as a "Generic LED - RGB" 
 This would use 5 desk channels per 4BAR LT, one for the built-in programs and one for each "pod". 
 If you are still having difficulty, it's generally fastest to get in touch with ETC's technical support.

You patch them with DMX addresses packed together, one-after-another. 
 Eg if the fixture DMX address is 1, you would patch the 'global' channel to DMX 1, then the pods as LED-RGB to DMX 4, 7, 10, 13. (The default if you just patch 4 x LED-RGB to DMX 4)
