All,
I'm trying to assist a school before their production goes up next week - hope someone can help.
School has Strand 250 ML console, 16 Selecon PLPROFILE1 MKII ellipsoidals, & 3 rows of Showline SL 660 Bar lights. No one remains from when equipment was installed/configured. Teacher found several show files on a USB drive - only 1 of which seemed to correspond with the lights and had some submasters recorded that brought up some lights - roughly reflecting the labels someone had put on the 250 ML.
ISSUES:
Many thanks (as always!) for this incredible forum.

ISSUES:
- Submasters seem to have been recorded (if I'm interpreting the manual correctly) as FULL, so that the RED, BLUE, & GREEN subs don't blend, but replace each other - they only get red and blue and green, but can't blend red & blue to get purple.
- PLPROFILEs (which are set in 5-channel mode) can be controlled as individual FIXTURES, and the COLOR button brings up the correct choices. Recording to CUEs seems to work, but teacher isn't successful running cues. Also, if saving these lights to a submaster, should color, etc. be saved as SNAP or FADE UP or FADE DOWN. Very confusing to me.
- SL 660s are supposedly set up in 8-bit mode, taking 10 DMX addresses, but when trying to control them thru FIXTURES/COLOR, the choices don't correspond to what the manual says should be seen in that setup - where 1st DMX address is intensity and 7-10 are red, green, blue, white. On the 250 ML there's no choice for INTENSITY, and when in the COLOR menu, running up the RED does nothing, but running up the BLUE gives red on stage. Something clearly not right.
