2 scrollers, 1 dimmer

2 source 4s one the same dimmer, each with a scroller.  

How do I calibrate or adjust one scroller without changing the other?  

I currently have the dimmer (2 lights) and one scroller on channel 60.  The second scroller I have on a different channel, so I can control and adjust it separately.  However, I cannot mark it, as it does not have the dimmer attached to it.  I could give it a phantom intensity dimmer.  However, I'd rather be able to adjust it as a part 2 of channel 60.

Is this possible? other ideas or options?

Thanks for your input

    Just had a quick look at this. I'm not sure if there is a scroller 2 personality pre made in the desk, but I could not find one. You can make a new fixture and set the parameter to "Scroller 2" (under the colour category). Then as normal, patch part 1 to a dimmer, part 2 to a normal scroller and part 3 to your new scroller personality. When I just did this, it did not add a scroll (under the attributes header) so you will need to do this, if you don't already!

    When you do that, you get a second encoder for the other scroller. You will be able to calibrate each unit, but for ease when programming, colour pallets will really speed up applying the same colour to both units.

    Hope that helps!
