Exact dmx value on congo jr

Question

Hello everybody. 
 I have really headache with setting exact dmx value on congo jr console. 
 I can use "." and"+%" for changing dmx value with 1 dmx value accuracy. But i can't save it into preset, or something 
 
 I tried to create "fixture" with intensity parameter and with ranges set bit value, but i fault. I also tried to create fixture with "control" parameter and to put there values and later put that parameters into "beam palettes" and then tried to put it into master pages. But I failed too. 
 
 I need to have an ability to control exact dmx value on dmx universe 2 on a channel 8 from master button. I thied to patch it like a dimmer, creating preset and setting it to master button, I tried to create special "fixture" to control that channel, and setting value to master button with palettes, but it don't want to send any value from master key, and I can only change dmx value in Live mode in series with "dot" key & "+%" key. 
 And I cant find something useful in manual. "@ level" & "format" key don't want to change "percentage/bits" view. 
 
 p.s. sorry for my english, actually I'm not a native english speaker, I'm from Moscow =)

As stated in the release notes, the facepanel firmware update included in the software download pack is for the 'big' Congo Console only . There are no recommended firmware updates for the Congo jr facepanel. 
 Secondly, your console appears to be in the "At Mode" syntax mode: ("@ Mode" shown bottom-right of the screens) [Ch] # [@Level] ## to select a channel and set a level. - [Ch] 1 [.] is the At Mode syntax to select Channel 1 without changing its level. 
 # [.] & [@Level] is an "Avab"/"RPN" syntax (number first, action second), and it does not have an At Mode equivalent because in At Mode you always type the level second. 
 To choose the syntax mode, there is a tickbox in System Settings > General. Untick "At Mode" to put the console into Avab mode. 
 (The Avab syntax # [.] & [@Level] means you need to hold down the [.] button while pressing [@Level].) 
 I do not understand your PS or PSS. Can you be more specific? 
 Perhaps if you email your show file and a more detailed explanation to congo (at) etcconnect (dot) com we can help better. 
 PS: Which version of Congo software are you using? It is very difficult to offer accurate assistance without knowing which version you are running.

Thanks for the extra information. 
 It is likely that you have a fixture which gets confused by RDM. There are a few fixtures out there which treat RDM packets as if they were DMX levels, instead of just ignoring the RDM packets like they are supposed to. 
 There are also some fixtures (mostly older ones) that can't cope with 'maximum-speed' DMX. 
 In System Settings > Output there is a tickbox for each DMX port to turn RDM on and off, and a dropdown to choose different DMX speeds.
