trying to write fixture profile

I've been trying to write a fixture profile for a ADJ dj spot 250 led. i've had some success, because the pan responds correctly, but nothing else does. for some reason when i load the lib file in my 1000 it puts in an extra pan channel and an extra tilt channel, which i think might be throwing everything else off. It does this when I write pan and tilt as ltp16bit. when I write it as ltp8bit, nothing works. I also dont know what product ID # to use. how can I find out I've got the manufacturer id #, but the manual says I would have to contact Flying Pig for a new product ID #. Does anybody know if this is still possible?

Thanks

    Again, for stuff you write yourself, the Mfg. ID is normally set to 99 (User), and then the fixture types start at 1. It still makes no difference, just so they don't duplicate!

    The "function duplicated" error is typically something else that has been redefined in what you have created, and which already exists in the file "function.txt". The duplicate number is as you state, and is why you don't typically write new user defined fixture types on other than mfg. 99!

    Having said that, the highest defined fixture type I can find for Elation is 33 . . . And 19 is already assigned to a fixture called the "Proton Star", although that may not be in the default on-board library, hence your lack of conflict.

    This is what I have from the Hog-2 library for Elation:

    CMY Zoom 250.lib:product = 27
    Color Spot 250R.lib:product = 14
    colour_250.lib:product = 2
    colour_575.lib:product = 1
    colourspot250.lib:product = 28
    colourspot575.lib:product = 11
    colour_spot.lib:product = 15
    Design LED.lib:product = 30
    Design Spot 250.lib:product = 26
    Design Spot 575.lib:product = 31
    FS-150SCI.lib:product = 10
    Joy 150.lib:product = 9
    Joy 300.lib:product = 8
    Opti RGB.lib:product = 29
    powerspot_575.lib:product = 15
    Power Spot 700.lib:product = 32
    powerspot.lib:product = 14
    powerwash250.lib:product = 17
    powerwash575.lib:product = 25
    procolor.lib:product = 6
    Proton Color.lib:product = 18
    Proton Star.lib:product = 19
    spot_150R.lib:product = 12
    spot_150S.lib:product = 13
    spot_250.lib:product = 3
    spot_575.lib:product = 0
    vision.lib:product = 4
    vision scan 250.lib:product = 33
    vision scan 575.lib:product = 22
    waterfall.lib:product = 5

    You won't get new formal assignments, since, once again, it isn't needed, recommended, or supported any more . . . if in doubt, use Mfg. 99 as per the instructions in the manual . . .

    Again, if you can post the pertinent data (your _lib.lib entries for this case) it will be far easier to help!
