    ETC Nomad/Qlab Same Computer

    Thank You! Can you email me an Eos and a Slab file so I can make sure everything is what it is supposed to be? In Qlab do you select a Qlab, OSC, or USP Message for the cue? Is "Cue 1 9 #" exactly what goes in? Trying to make sure I have everything 100% correct. Thanks!

Also make sure that you are not pulling more power per dimmer than the dimmer can handle. I doubt that that is the...
