Issues with Multiple Intensities in Custom Fixtures

1. I'm not sure what you mean, but there are two categories for levels in the fixture creator, one is the actual value (e.g. 0-255) and one is the user value (e.g. 0-100%). The user value is what is displayed and could be anything, such as percentage, degrees, mode, etc.

2. You cannot disable auto-mark for a fixture. Auto-mark is either on or off. 

Hope that helps,

1. I have have created a custom fixture with 11 intensity attributes (Mapped as Intens, Intens 2-8, Intens 11-13). Two of these paramaters have been defaulted to 128 in the patch screen, and are outputting that (under the ABOUT), however the encoders still show 0.125%, the percentage does not seem to update proportionately, and the granularity of the encoders does not seem to match across the fixture.

i think for the parameters that show 0,125% you should go to patch, to the fixture list and check the range in the personality. i think you will see, that the dmx values range from 0 to 255, but the User Min and Max are set to -100 and +100. which makes 128 (which is almost center) 0,125% (which is almost center too).

I'm looking at the DMX value the console is outputting, and while the console is outputing DMX 128, the encoder field is still posting 0.125%, this seems like a software issue. 

Automark can be disabled on cue basis, and when I disable it, these custom fixtures still auto-mark.

Will investigate the ranges in the fixture setup, but I believe those are setup as 0-100%...so I would think I should see the value increase as I roll the encoder up.

You can disable auto mark in the setup options. Then nothing will mark till you ask it to.  To remove a mark type:  cue (x) mark.

Can you please email your showfile to me?  anne.valentino@etcconnect.com.  And indicate which channels appear to be automarking even when the automark function is disabled on a cue basis?

Thanks!
