Dear Elation,

Thank you very much for your fast help with my profiles...

I need some Basic help with DMX...

Question:
Why can I not control a fixture? I am using the "32 DMX channels" profile. I can use the fixture if i have it set to "fixture #1"(dmx-001), but not after that. I need this fixture to be #10 (dmx-289) and #11 (dmx-321). I do not have a profile for this fixture yet, and even if I did, I

FYI, I have my movers up and running, they are happy...Even if I hook another mover up to fixture #3 (dmx-065), its not talking to it...
find it easier to use the "32 DMX channels" profile (so far)....

ANSWER:
"Fixture patch"... my dmx channels were set wrong? NOW I'm confused... I thought they had to be set every 32 channels (8 faders x 4 pages), 001,033,065,097,129, etc... now my fixture #10 is at 061, and my fixture #11 is at 067. they are happy and working...

I'm used to working with the DMX operator, and the channels are in increments of 16... 001, 016, etc...

What am I doing wrong?

The wiring is correct...

Can you please tell me the software to download, to create profiles for my SD3?

If you have autopatch on, you can view the DMX channel assigned to each fixture from the patching menu. Set your fixtures to these addresses. There are some problems with the downloads on the web site. Wait till I get this fixed before downloading the profile program.
