how do I patch a radiance ultratec hazer to etc element lightboard. They want to eventually control the hazer with submasters - one for haze and the other for fan

the element has channel fader and subs. if the want to use the channel faders you would have to patch two dimmers, patch one to the hazer's start address and one to the address + 1.

with subs you don't have to patch as dimmers but of course still can. but from a data visibility point of view it's probably to patch as dimmers as well.

when you patch a hazer as dimmer (and also make use of a grand master fader) you want to think about if the grand master should influence the hazer or not, and use the attribute GM Excempt in patch accordingly.

last but not least: i prefer hazers not recorded into cues. that's why i set hazer subs to Exclude:Record so they don't get accidentally get recorded into cues. i also like to have a haze Inhibit sub somewhere. e verybody using the console is taught to always have that inhibit at 0 until they get clearance (e.g. smoke detectors) and also but the inhibit back to 0 when they leave the board.

I can't thank you enough for replying so quickly! I also appreciate your telling me about GM exempt, Exclude Record, and the haze inhibit sub.
