I/O gateway node question

The simpler way would be to use a switching device of some-sort. If you don't have switches available, you could possibly use some spare dimmer channels set to non-dim. One theatre I work in has some Strand LD 90 racks (now controlled by an ETC desk, of course). A Strand LD 90 outputs two 0-10v outputs in addition to the full dimming outputs, so for example, channels 25 & 26 are connected to simple circuitry culminating in relays to operate non-dim channels.

In part, this is due to the theatre's anaolgue to digital upgrade over the last few decades - and in practice it is a very simple and cheap method of providing a control channel for things like flicker-lamps.

Whereabouts are you?

Would it be out of the question to suggest an idea that being able to patch a Non Dim channel to a relay output on a ETC Net3 gateway would be really cool?

You can use an I/O gateway to turn on and off your Chandelier. 

Currently in the EOS family software, you have to do this with an Execute on a cue.  Cue x Execute(softekey 5)  Relay (softkey 3) x.  I suggest writing a macro for this because you currently have to add each relay 1 at a time.  (work around, create a dummy cue list or list depending on what you want the chandelier to do, and execute the a cue with the executes already programed.)  This way you can just reference the cue list every time you want the lamps on.

Wiring.  This should be treated just like a standard light switch.  You will have your 9v psu, + terminal to I/O relay, I/O relay to lamp.  - terminal to lamp. 

Does that help?

I was just hi-jacking the topic, seeing as I had a I/O Gateway question.
