Chauvet SlimPar64 library entry

some friends lent me a couple of the above instruments to use as truss warmers. I set them to 3 channel mode (Red, Green, Blue). They are addressed correctly and patched correctly. There is no Chauvet entry for this unit so I built one as follows:

Did you, by any chance, assigned dmx values to the intensity or hue and saturation parameters?  If you did, that's why it's not working.  Truthfully,if the mode you're using only has 3 parameters (one each for R, G, & B), then you should be able to use the default "Generic" "LED-RGB fixture.

As Tracy points out, the Generic RGB profile should work fine.  However, if you are building a fixture profile in the future, the parameters that you mention can be made "virtual" by assigning them a DMX offset of 0 in the fixture editor.

thanks all. I've given it all a try and still no joy. I'll let you know.
