Scrollers not working...

We can't get our new scrollers to work through the desk.

I've imported the device template, gone to the patch wizard and patched in 12 devices, starting at desk channel 231, dmx channel 301, universe 1, dmx offput of 2, replaced the existing dimmers, assigned the 16 frame scroller roll and executed. Then turned on the lamps, selected the scroller channels, rolled up the intensity wheel and nothing happens. Yes all the numbers are correct, yes the scrollers have 16 frames and yes the scrollers are dmx addressed correct.

Anyone got any ideas where I'm going wrong??

Any help much appreciated, thanks.

    The intensity wheel controls the dimmer side of a channel, not the scroller. Look to the encoders for the scroller (Color) control. You may need to press the COLOR button to make sure the color parameters are displayed on the encoders.

    It also sounds like you have patched your scrollers to separate channels from the dimmers that are controlling the lamps themselves. In Congo you can patch the dimmer and the scroller to the same channel number, then the level wheel controls intensity and the color encoder does the scroller and you don't have to select or consume two separate channels.

    I hope this helps -
