Issue with Mac 2k Wash w/Dimmer Wheel Personality

Hi, I think what the problem is that the Martin Mac_2000_Wash_Dimmer_16B fixture profile is not mapping any attribute to DMX channel 2 which, according to the manual, must be set to 100% when the dimmer wheel is used.

If you select a channel that is patched as a Mac_2000_Wash_Dimmer_16B and look at About and Patch, you can see which attributes are patched to which DMX addresses. Here you'll see that although address 8 is patched to Intensity, address 2 has nothing patched - which goes against the manual. (see attached)

Try parking DMX channel 2 of each fixture to value 255 for the purposes of confirming whether this is the cause of the problem. I've just tried this on an Ion, and in this example if you go into Park display ([Park][Park]) and park Address 1/2 @ 100, then this will fill in the missing value for you in the DMX stream. Alternatively, until the fixture profile is corrected, you could try creating a custom fixture profile with DMX channel 2 mapped to a parameter with home value of 255.
