I have just installed 17 Chauvet 56 SlimPAR Pro's and connected to our new Zero88 OrbXF Lighting Console.
The fixtures are daisy chained using the standard 3 pin cable in one continuous string, running through a stage box and directly into Universe 3 on the back of the desk.
I've updated the fixture list in the desk and used the Patch Wizard function. As the OrbXF comes with 240 channels pre-patched i've numbered the fixtures starting at 250 (250-266). As there are no other DMX fixtures in Universe 3 the first DMX address is 1. The lights are configured in 10ch mode so the DMX addresses are showing on the console as 1....11.....21....etc etc which i what you would expect.
However......When I type in the syntax 250@Full, all LED's ramp to full. Am I being stupid in thinking that i should be able to individually control all 17 lights as individual fixtures? When i type the syntax 251@FULL nothing happens.
Do I need to climb the tallescope 17 times to individually enter the DMX addresses on the fixtures or am I missing a trick that will see less time consumed.
I am new to LED fixtures and i'm actually very impressed with how punchy these little lights are but i'm a little miffed at these teething problems.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
