The title mostly explains the problem.
We have a -bunch- of outlets we need to be able to dim on our stage setup ( a couple backstage and a few on the front of the stage to be used for specials near thrusts )
They all have numbers on them written in none other than sharpie... we went to our Strand dimmers and flipped the breaker on the correct dimmer/module number. The power turned off.
We need to be able to control these, through our strand preset pallete board. The weird thing is, the power is always on to these outlets. Some of them are "constant" dimmers (Which is I'm guessing non-dim) and some are basic (dimming?) I checked the ETC web control panel, and I've added a circuit for that module in the circuit setups as 00148 (Assuming I could them control it with patch 1.148 on my board) This didn't work.
I am not familiar with this lingo, and how this all works beyond patching them to pre-setup circuits on the board and running wires.
I would really love to shed some light on this topic, as we have a show in a week and I would -love- for these specials to be installed and working (Not a huge biggie if we can't get them to work)
Sadly, nobody knows in our school how this was all setup, and we can't get a professional out.
Thanks in advanced, and I know this is asking a lot.
