Profile Editor Problem

The first and last ranges' home values have special rules applied -- they will be set to the min and max, respectively. You can add an extra range to work around this hard-coded rule, as you observed.

Your other question needs a bit more context. If you can post the showfile or a screenshot of the parameters you are using, we might be able to see what's happening. As for how to add a new mode section in the range editor, the mode column can be added by pressing "New Mode" on the far left of the screenshot above.

Thanks for the Home values advice. Noted.

The "App A Custom Fixture Profiles" under Virtual Parameters tells me to "Click Gobo Mode and set DMX to 0 (Which doesn't make sense to me as we need a FMX (Offset) for the parameter. But to the real question. I have fumbled and found how to put in a new mode.

But can't find how to put text into their blocks. See above. Now I may be thinking things are more complicated than they are. But if you look a a Intimidator profile below

Not only is there text but - Is there a "IF" thing going on here? It is as if something is saying if a button in the ML panel is pressed then look at these ranges. If so how/where does the button come from and any program made? Sorry for being obtuse but I can find very little information on this whole mode thing and not really sure of the process.

Check out the manual page here: https://www.etcconnect.com/webdocs/Controls/EosFamilyOnlineHelp/en-us/Default.htm#Patch/Modes.htm%3FTocPath%3DPatch%7CFixture%2520Editor%7CCreating%2520a%2520New%2520Fixture%7C_____2

Towards the bottom of that page is a tutorial on how to create the mode parameter using a simple gobo rotator as the example fixture. 

To your question more directly, the labels for mode conditions are obtained from the range labels for the mode parameter. This is an entirely separate parameter that is defined (often without a DMX address) and set up before applying it as a condition. If you look in the Intimidator profile, there will be a Color Wheel Mode parameter that has three ranges defined, which are then available as conditions. 

This is a tad complex, let us know if this makes sense. 

Oh wow! I knew there must be some 'stuff' out there. But my manual does not contain this wealth of info. I'm cutting and pasting your notes and that great link into a "Profile Modes For Double Dummies" doc to work through. Interesting evening comin up. Thank you for your help.
