basic question about selecting dmx

Hello!

I am having an issue with a MAC 600 that doesnt want to strike the lamp when I order it from the Hog3. I would like to try to manually strike it setting the values in dmx channel 1 of the fixture. However I don't know how to do this simple thing with the hog. How can I select an specific dmx adress and change its value?

For example, this fixture has the dmx start adress of 217. I would need to select the 217 adress and change its value, in other words when I type 217 I dont want to select a Unit or a fixture, I want to select the dmx adress.

Thanks!!

    Hello, are there other Mac 600s that are striking the lamps ok? If yes, the problem may be with the fixture.

    The CONTROL button on the console controls channel 1 on the Mac 600. The Control button is on the right display grouped with MODE and ENABLE. The Mac 600 manual shows a range of about 228-237 or so for Lamp Strike. The Hog selects a value 232 which is right in the middle of the range. You can open the DMX window, SETUP->DMX to see the values the channels are actually at. You cannot just select the one DMX channel unless you patch the fixture as 12 DMX Channels for example.

    Below are some notes from the Mac 600 manual. You may try setting the CMY to the specified values first.

    Lamp Off is allowed with SPEC/dLoF
    set to ON, or with SPEC/dLoF set to
    OFF and cyan, magenta and yellow
    set between 230 and 232.

    Reset is allowed with SPEC/dRES
    set to ON, or with SPEC/dRES set to
    OFF and cyan, magenta and yellow
    set between 230 and 232.
