Litegear Litemat Help

Question

Trying to connect our Litegear Litemat 4 S2 to our new ColorSource 40 but not seeing that fixture in the list. I've been trying to use the generic options but it warms the fixture up in (the dimming works) but I need it to be daylight, not tungsten. Any thoughts?

I've not been able to find any control information about this fixture directly, however it appears from the datasheet that it might be the "Spectrum" or "Spectrum OS2" that we do already have in the console fixture library (depending on what firmware it's running) 
 Spectrum is a single mode with 5 DMX slots (Intensity, Color Temp, Saturation, Hue, Tint) 
 Spectrum OS2 has a multitude of different modes. 
 Or possibly one of the the LiteDimmer ones - if you plug it into an external LiteDimmer unit for DMX control. 
 Litegear really don't publish much information at all.

The E-Control 4x4-v3.1 appears to be a generic 4-circuit LED 'dimmer pack'. You can use it with four single-color LED tapes (or panels), two bi-color or one four-color. 
 This means the personality depends on what's connected to its "LED OUTPUT" terminals, and the order in which they're connected. 
 From the limited information there, I would guess it's an 8-bit mode of one of the following: 
 
 Generic: LED - RGBW 
 Generic: LED - RGBA 
 Generic: LED - WwCw, times two (if all four outputs are connected) 
 
 To figure out which Generic LED personality to use, I'd recommend patching it as four normal Dimmers then bring up those faders one at a time. 
 If they're in the order Red, Green, Blue, White then it's LED-RGBW, etc. 
 - It might help to think of this as a classic 4-cell cyc batten. You could gel it R,G,B,A, or Warm, Cool, Warm, Cool, etc 
 The acdc LED: Fusion 12 2700K/5600K is a WarmWhite, CoolWhite, so most likely you need Generic: LED - WwCw times however many panel sections you have - probably some panels are actually made up of two independent halves.
