Just purchased some ADJ Mega GO Bar 50s and Mega GO Par 64's for fill lighting on the stage. I assumed because I saw the bars in the libray on my ION that all was good. Tonight I am set up to begin focus then cues in a couple of days and I discovered the Bars in the library for at least the 6 channel mode are not correct. Channels are not in the proper order and there is at least one that the fixture does not have. Sooo I manually created the fixture based on the manual. I also discovered none of the Pars are not in the library at all. They both have identical attributes though, so I just copied my manually created Bar fixture and renamed it Par. Here's the problem; there is no dimming ability. When the fixtures are selected and I run the wheel up and down slowly the fixture flashes on and off and on and off and so on. If I select it at 50% it is off and if I select it at 40% it is on. This varies with any intensity selected.
Sooo I next placed the fixtues in the 3 channel mode; simple rgb, selected the 3 channel bars from the library then copied the bars and renamed them as pars and selected them. Now I have 3 channel bars and 3 channel pars patched and they work perfectly buttttttt I am not able to use any of the features in the higher channel modes such as strobing because they are only in rgb mode.
My questions are three fold:
1) why might they not be operating properly in 6 channel mode when I created them exactly as the manal says? Actually the first 6 channels per the manual and of course the next three were automatically added by the ION in creating the fixture. They are hue, sat and brightness.
2) Would it be possible to get the various (at least the 6 channel) modes fixed.
3) Would it be possible to add the ADJ Mega Go Par 64 fixture to the library.
I can send the data and/or the manual
