Congo Senior - STAR07 Template

Question

I hope that somebody may be able to help me set up a template on our Congo Senior console? We have just recently purchased three sections (6m x 3m) of Star07 star cloth. According to the very small instruction booklet that came with it, I think its indicating that each section requires or uses 5 dimmer address? Will this in effect mean that with all three sections zipped and plugged together the whole star cloth will require 15 dimmer addresses. Our goal is to have the star cloth on either all the time, which I think we have achieved, albeit the right or wrong way. And ultimately we would like to create a random twinkling effect between the three sections. The template is our first hurdle as I'm not sure we have done that correctly, although we do have all the LED's working. Any guidance would be gratefully received, as its very seldom we find ourselves patching new devices. I've tried searching the forums for help on the STAR07, but cant seem to find anything. If there is any information in the forum I would be really grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction. 
 The link to the manual is http://prolight.co.uk/images//media/STAR07/STAR07-um0.pdf 
 Many thanks

Looking at the manual quickly it appears you're correct. Each cloth uses 5 dmx channels. You could always have the 3 sections use the SAME 5 dmx channels and that way you're addressing it as one unit. To do different effects on different sections does mean that you need to set each cloth as a separate unit with it's own 5 dmx channels. 
 Others may have a better idea of how to do a template for this as it doesn't appear to have an Intensity channel !

Attached is a template that should work (Congo 6.4.1) 
 Unfortunately this fixture doesn't seem to have any kind of dimming. I've sort-of faked it by having the LEDs 1-4 attributes fade-with-intensity so they will at least black out when Intensity is at zero, for the attributes to work right the channel Intensity needs to be either at 0% or 100%. Intensity values in between those will slow down the twinkle/flash before turning it off.
