Non-Dims

We connected our EOS to our network on Friday. Yipeee. So I had a look at the show that I had "shadow plotted", ie with no visible output, in order to get used to the board. And I discovered that the Non-dims that have been patched appear to be permanently on as soon as the show is loaded, with no display to indicate that they are on?

So I guess that I would need to make a custom non-dim that we can load onto subs in order to control them, and that we are able to see in the channel display.

Any thoughts?

I guess the non-dim in the library is hot-patched. To be honest, I've never looked!
As curves are now in 1.2, I would use regular dimmers with a non-dim curve (eg 905: Full at 1%) or create a curve that sets it at whatever value you wish.

Can I just check that Non-Dims are a hot-patch and are always on!

Also is this going to stay this way.

Many thanks

Crispy and I noticed this yesterday when we were trying to figure out what the Non-Dim percentage was. As soon as you turned the type into Non-Dim, it came on. I had already put my own Non-dim curve 900 (ON at 50 percent) so it was no big deal, but non-dim and hot-patch are two seperate things. And the 500 series certainly treats a Non-Dim as something that comes on at a particular percentage.

Agreed. I'm with Luke - I haven't actually looked at this specific function, but will. Non-dims should have a trip point.

Thanks guys!

Any idea if this will be in the next version. Right now I'm doing Profile 905 on Dimmers, but I'd rather not.
