    Simple Control of Movers - ETC Express

    Another cheap control solution that I know of is Martins M-PC. It will output a universe of DMX for free over an Enttec usb - dmx device. I believe the open DMX-USB is under 100 bucks and the software is free to download.

    Vectoworks Paperwork Issue

    That could be it. Well I took the channel hookup and took out every other column except channel and it still sorted it out of order. Maybe a call to vectorworks might be in order.
