Zoom curve in A3D

Hello!

I have some JB Lighting P9 and P10 and the zoom is not linear in real life. in A3D the full out zoom and minimum zoom is matching real life but not in between. the zoom is slow start and actually start to get bigger at 7-10% this making A3D always to big except at full out and minimum zoom.

Is it some way to edit this to match? 

Thanks, Johannes

    This is one of the weaknesses of every visualizer out there, because this sort of information isn't often published, but rather must be manually profiled by having physical access to the fixture. So just about every library simply assumes a linear distribution. This is also true for all of the various modes and macros available within a fixture. So if you set a custom dimming curve via the fixture via DMX, or such as a color chase macro, etc., none of those will find their way into any visualizer because they're not providing those actual macro info from the fixture to ETC or any other visualizer for that matter.
