Like Jingles said, you can't get this to work correctly out of the box.
However, if you're really just looking for the beamage, you can patch the visualizer with a different fixture to give you the beam.
Make a 3 channel RGB personality.
Make it a conventional type.
Make it a Changer.
Adjust the dimensions to get what you want.
Patch 1 of these in for each 'pixel' of your bar and place them next to each other.
The conventionals and the movers are the only fixture object types that show beam as far as I can tell.
When you are moving things around in viz. you can grab a group of objects, say pixels to make up a bar, and use the last tab in the editor window, it is a group tool. You can make lines, circles, squares, etc. and control the spacing.
