Hog 3 and Wysiwyg connectivity questions

A few questions that if answered might help with my current insanity from trying every combination of getting wysiwyg and hog 3 to talk.

1. Can you run the visualiser (wysiwyg) and hog 3 pc on same computer?

2. my current setup:
xp servicepack 3
wysiwyg version 23,
I've installed hog 3 pc (current version)
I've installed hog 3 connectivity driver.
Is this all correct or are there compatibility issues?

3.Is there a preferred order of software setup?
I have been opening wysiwyg which triggers virtual dp / connectivity driver
( set to port 6600, user number 1 )
My show has 9 vl2500's patched,
the device in the device manager is hog3 dp
the universe is bound to universe A,

4. Is there something in dp8000 patch or dmx setup or ip of desk or port settings that i need to worry about

At the moment The Wholehog III DP window always says Locating Wholehog III Net-work but never locates it, wysiwyg will not connect either

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Mick


P.s. i have read everything in forums and wysiwyg and high end manuals i could get my hands on and couldnt figure it out

  • Mick,

    You can run both on the same PC.

    Off the top of my head...

    Load WYG.
    Do you see the connectivity screen open?
    Is it set for the same settings as HOG?
    (6600 and 1 probably)

    Load HOG
    Load Show

    In WYG...
    Assuming you have your fixtures assigned to universes and channels correctly...
    (we'll assume that for now)
    Go LIVE.
    Select Device Manager
    Select the correct Device
    I believe it is MANUFACTURER --> Flying Pig Systems --> DP???

    Bind your universes first!
    Then connect.

    (I can re-check this when I'm back at the office, or by then someone will catch what I missed)
