Not sure I can word this question sufficiently to be clearly understood but I'll try. It happens once in a while and my last event it happened again so I thought I would post it. I am going off memory so may not have specifics needed.
I want to patch a range channels; same multi-channel fixtures. So I enter the channels @ the start address and enter. Let's use 211 through 220 fixture @ 2/101 enter for an example. I see 211 through 215 (again this is an example only i picked out of the air) but not 216 through 220. So I patch 216 @ start address that would be applicable to that fixture and it appears as 216. I then do 217 through 220 @ whatever address would be applicable to 217 fixture and I think nothing showed. So I have to either do each one 217 then 218 and so forth until all are done.
It either happened that way or when I tried the individual channels and fixtures that were not showing one at a time nothing showed then either until I deleted those channels and re-patched the range again. Sorry, can't remember which way it happened.
Is this very unspecific example possibly happening because of the improper order of patching multi-channel fixtures against what is shown in the training video? That being; enter the channel range first and enter. Then select the fixture enter. Then @ and the start channel. I would have to think not since the first group did show. I'm just not sure what prevents certain ones from showing in the list on the patch screen.
I realize this might be opening up a pandoras box and more specific details might be needed. If so I will wait until it happens again and try to make notes, however as most of you know, patching for an event doesn't often times allow for note taking. :-)
