Problem

I am going to assume that you added the profile into your "lib.lib" file.

It sounds like you did not increment the "count=xxx" at the top of this file.

Every time you add a profile you must increment the number by 1.

For example, if you add one profile in and the count=1, you must change it to be count=2.

If this does not fix it you may have a sytanx error somewhere in your profile, and the only way to find it is to look it over very carefully.

Hope this helps.:)

Ok thank you for the advice,

I found some things that needed spaces in the code, the first problem is fixed.

Now I just get "the file is incompatible with this version of the software. load has aborted"

is there an incompatibility for the code between software versions?

I am running OS V3.3 (177) LIB V5.4

Check the version number at the top of the .lib file...I think it should be 40 ??

You may also have a conflict with manufacturer or fixture number (at the top of the profile) if it is trying to overwrite an existing index.

Try changing these to one that is not already there....there is a list in the manual.

I could not find the list but in the handbook it say to put the manufacture at 99 if your unsure... I tried this and got back to where I started

So if it helps I will post the code. maybe you can see something I don't know about.

version = 40
count = 1

Thank you so much for your help, I started to panic when my "new" board did not accept the profiles for my lights.

Well quite a few things jump out at me at first glance....:Eyecrazy:

- The manufacturer # of 250 seems very high....try 99 for both fixture number and manufacturer number.

- the color paramter should have a "u" in it so it reads "colour"

- does your fixture truly have the shutter on the colour + gobo parameters?!?! or is there a separate intensity channel somewhere that is missing? Surely the shutter cannot be controlled by two different parameters?!?!

- remove the lines "movement = normal" from both colour and gobo....these are only for Pan and Tilt

- remove the "Pan" and "Tilt" from the last lines of the Pan & Tilt parameters so they read: "range = 0, 255, noauto"

Hopefully this gets it for you.:cool:
