WH2 Library generator help

I've written a fixture library for a new Chauvet moving light (which is actually pretty decent for $999)
I've got everything working, but some of the parameters are in weird places, and I"m having a problem with 'fine pan/tilt'
I'm hoping someone can help.

First, the 'fine pan tilt' is coming up as a seperate parameter on the next page of wheels, and does not work as 'pig + pan wheel = fine pan' which is what I want. the wheels are laid out like this: pan, tilt, fine pan, fine tilt


second, i'm wondering if there is a way to choose which wheels a parameter shows up on? basically I want the 'position' wheels to be laid out as: Intensity, pan, tilt (with pig + pan or tilt yielding fine pan/tilt

here is the library:

fixture = Intimida
manufacturer = 104
product = 6
name = Intimidator 250
yoke = yes

    Look back at the config file clip I posted in post #7 - nothing is left out . . . when you tell the Hog to use "ltp16bit" you *ARE* telling it to use both coarse and fine. What happens is that instead of two parameters 8 bits in size, they run as one parameter 16 bits in size, and span both channels. Note that for simple single channel parameters you use things like "ltp8bit" to only run on one channel. You will also see things listed in some fixture definitions as "Pan MSB" and Pan LSB" which refers to the same thing - most significant byte and least significant byte, IE

    12345678 12345678 is two bytes. The group of 8 on the left is MSB and the right is LSB. Each DMX channel represents one bit, and there are 8 per byte, 1 through 8. Combine to a 16 bit parameter (such as 16 bit pan tilt) and the data is the same, but the console sees it as:

    12345678 91111111
    0123456

    Note also that the ranges and center values change on a 16 bit parameter - 8 bit parameters are 0 to 255 and 16 bit parameters are 0 to 65535, with 128 and 32768 being the center values respectively.

    For more detail, download the Hog-2 manual - it has more detail than the Hog 1000 manual on fixture libraries, and gives good explanations of all this stuff.
