When I plug the cue cable into 3 pin fixtures...the software controls these fixtures just fine.
I have Elation Opti Tri 30 LEDs which are 5 pin. When I use a 3 to 5 pin adapter (I have tried 3 different ones) I get no control over the lights. Under options I then get the following once I plug in the 5 pin.
"this is not an elation cuecable"
I do not get this when plugged into a 3 pin fixture. I have even tried coming out of the 3 pin fixture and then into the 5 pin fixture. Same thing happens.
I'm running Windows XP professional, version 2002, service pack 3. When I fire up the program with the cue cable attached (before plugging into a 5 pin fixture i get the following:
PCB version 1.2
Firmware Version 1.03
Emulation Version 1.03 build 26 for Windows
It would seem to me that the cue cable is the Elation cue cable since it runs the 3 pin fixtures just fine. I would appreciate any quick help on this as I have a show this coming Saturday that I will need to use this software with 5 pin fixtures.
Thanks.
