Profile for an illuminator

This should be pretty straightforward to build. I would create a new personality with:

Take a look at page 85 of the 1.7 User Manual for information about creating your own fixtures.

I've created the profile as shown, but still can't get it to respond. The screen shot doesn't include things like 'LDMX', 'Home', 'Snap', or 'Range'. Do I need to change any of these?

A few suggestions:

do you need to strike your lamp (lamp on)?

A good way to  troubleshoot/isolate the problem would be to patch the 4 control channels as you would with a conventional (address 1 @ ch1, 2 @2, 3 @3, 4 @ 4, etc).  play with the levels and see if the unit responds---if it does, it is probably how you created the profile---if it doesn't, it is probably a setting on the fixture itself and/or data problems.

it may be possible your dimmer channel on the fixture works something like this (especially if its low end):

1-50=dimmer 0-100

51-90 built in macros

90-100 lamp control

You shouldn't need to - LDMX is the "low" DMX - the second channel of a 16bit channel. Home should be 0 on everything, snap shouldn't make any difference in terms of control.

Can you control the various parameters if you simply patch them as dimmers?
