Calibrate scrollers in ION

Select your fixture.

Press 'Colour' and use the encoder wheel labeled 'scroller'  to align the frame.

Press the scroller encoder and press calibrate.

You can press and hold the encoder wheel and press Next or Last to select the frame you wish to calibrate.

Perfect, easy, thanks.

By chance do you know how to calibrate frames on movers?  Some of my colors don't center.

What kind of Mover? I'm pretty sure its exactly the same method.

At the moment I tend not to use the calibrating anyway, As I make colour palettes for me to put on my direct selects aswell being able to update them easily. There's a few advantages of doing it this way over calibrating scrollers through the method I told you. Although I think there has been talk of upgrading this feature so I'm sure soon it will change.

Calibration routines are only provided for scrollers - since their centering can be altered by the gel that is placed in the scroller load.  Wheels should be "fixed" in terms of their calibration.  If the color in a fixed wheel is not centering, that sounds like an issue with the fixture itself.  Is this happening on all of the fixtures of the same type, or only some of them?

Thanks much!

Anne, thanks.

AT this point it was only the one I was testing.  I'll check all my other fixtures.

I just thought that where center goes would depend on the dmx vaule set on the console.  I know fixtures have sensors, eyes, etc on wheels to tell them what position a wheel is at, however  I thought because of the 0 - 255 range gobos, colors, etc. each still have an individual dmx range; Gobo 1 range 1-25 "for example" and the fixture would be set in the console to 12 or so for center.  When I created custom fixtures in my last console it asked for a "default" setting.  I also thought thats how a two color split look can be created.  I do know that when I operated the color encoder one click at a time the color wheel turned ever so slightly to what appeared to be a more "center" position for that fixture.  Therefore I just assumed the library might have the value slightly off to center and since I couldn't find a way to access that information I sent my inquiry.

Will chk other fixtures and let you know.
