This is my first post, so please be kind. I have no prior knowledge of DMX lighting. I help out a local ministry and we recently purchased a used SD1 w/ Rev. 3.03 M1. We have 16-AM/DJ P64LED, 2-MD/DJ Accu Spot 300 & 4 Cheuvet Q-wash 250. None of these fixtures are listed under the fixture selection one the SD1. I read the SD1 manual. I am starting out by attempting to control just one P64LED. I have the #1 switch in the ON position and all others OFF. I do understand the addressing on the fixtures (1=switch 1, 3=1&2, 17=5&1, 35=6,2&1,etc). Since you only use switches 1-8, not sure what 9 & 10 should be set at. According to the P64 docs it's only a 6 channel fixture, simple enough (R,G,B,Color Macro, Strobe, Dim). How can I get it to the SD1 to work with the P64LED? I reversed the output polarity and only channel #4 produces any results; the power led on the P64 also blinked. Once I figure this one out, I maybe able to address another P64LED as fixture #2 and control the same. Should the 2nd fixture be addressed as 17 (switch 5&1) or another address? Later I will attempt the motor heads. Small steps...

Thanks in advance,

MS5435,
Good evening! My name is Rafael and I am with Elation Customer Support. I apologize for not replying sooner. We have been a little shorthanded preparing for the upcoming LDI show.
Now it appears that you have an older version of the SHOW DESIGNER 1 software on your controller. The newest version is 3.15. This version contains some of the fixtures you are requesting. There are two things we can have you do, you can either download the latest version of the software with the updated fixture library, or you can use another fixture and modify it to work as these lights would?
In all reality it would be too long of a reply to post on here. I think your best bet would be to contact me direct here at the office and so that I can try and assist you over the phone when you are seated in front of your lighting setup. This way I can walk you through a few things and try and answer your questions as best as possible. I must make you aware that I may not be able to answer everything or explain everything in one phone call, but I will do my best to get you up an running.
You can reach me at 866.245.6726 ext. 548
I look forward to hearing from you.

Rafael
