Weird P&T for Profile

which version of EOS are you using?  You can assign a non-consecutive address for the LO Pan or LO Tilt when creating the fixture.

Oh yeh! Got it thanks. Now if we're using 16bit P and Ts, I would assume the lower bits are for the fine tuning and the upper for coarse? RIght?

I've got EOS on my home computer so able to follow your lead, make the changes and then use the profile.  I put these in as splits and watched the Live Table after changing P&Ts in the ML window. If that had been a typo and I let them run H/L consecutively some odd things would have happened I reckon.

basically that's true but its easier to just think of it that the first parameter address is what the manual says is Pan and the second you put in is the fine so choose 16bit pan and put in 7, 9  and tilt 8,10

But it sounds like you've got it working already anyway. 

Usually the problem on these cheap ones is the manual (read sheet of badly photo copied bit of paper) is not actually correct and to find the fine paremter you need for fine adjust you have to put you finger on the fixture while changing each parameter until you feel it moving a little!!

That is a neat (finger) tip! I've posted it into my Bench Notes but it brought up a question;

Say I patched a mode 12  fixture to control channel 101 and pointed it to 12 DMX addresses starting at 400.

Now, If I wanted to drive a 0 - 255 value out to a specific address (like 401) to see if was the pan fine - is there a way I can put a value directly out to a DMX address without patching a channel? Never thought of this before.

According to the manual

Thank you very much. This is something I had no idea about but is now a valuable contribution to my ever growing note book.
