Well, I answered my own question before, but I thought I would ask another question so that this thread isn't just a waste of internet space
As you can tell, I am playing with an
Express in
OLE in preparation for an up coming gig. I will be using some IQs and LEDs and some other simple toys. Normally when I use IQs on the
Express(
ion) I use the
Rosco personality on ETCs website, but I don't like it. There is no
intensity channel in the
fixture. This annoys me, so I have decided to make my own personality (really just edit this one) to include remote
dimmer. Bear with me, this is my first time making
Express(
ion) personalities. What I am finding is that just checking the Remote
Dimmer box doesn't really accomplish anything. It allows me to assign a remote
dimmer in
fixture patch, but it doesn't actually give me control over
intensity in the
Fixture Box. So, back to the Personality Editor. I add an
intensity attribute to the personality and bingo. Now I can control the
intensity within the
Fixture Box. Just what I wanted. However, I noticed that since I have added an attribute to the personality, it has also added a
dimmer to the
fixture footprint. I am still using the Remote
Dimmer for the actual
dimmer for the
intensity, but now there is a second
dimmer patched to the
intensity channel. Why does it do this? Why does it add another
dimmer to the
fixture if I am clearly using Remote
Dimmer for
intensity? Am I doing something wrong?
It's not the end of the world, this is an
Express we are talking about. I have 1024 dimmers and only 96 channels, so I have dimmers to spare
I was just curious.
