Elation Opti Tri Par on Expression 3

How do you set them up to be board controllable?  Looking in the manual, it said to look for profiles, but I havent found anything with Elation other than something I don't have.

 

thanks!

  • Hi Laura,

    You will want to download the Expression Off-Line editor.  One of the parts of the download is a Personality Creator.  You can use the software to create a profile for the Opti in which ever mode you are using.  (I would recommend a mode with the master dimmer.)  It is pretty easy to create a profile.

    I have put one together that might work for you.  Unzip & save it to a floppy and try it.

    Good Luck!

  • Thank you so much for the reply... I tried loading that personality, and it said it was loading, then it didn't appear to do anything.  Nothing came up.  I downloaded the offline personality editor, and didn't quite understand what to do.  I know how to set up one of these through a Leprecon board, haven't tried through this yet.

    Thanks again!

  • Hi Laura,

    I tried loading it in the offline without a problem before I attached it.  Are you running 3..11?

    Next, on the Fixture Personality Page it should just add the OptiPAR as a new fixture personality.  There is no A-HA moment.  It just loads the file.

    Hope that helps!
