Maybe someone can give me an idea. In show express I built the fixture and it is located at dmx channel 13. I named all of the channels and named and added all of the levels within those channels. I followed the directions in the laser's manual on setting it to channel 13. The led display on the back now reads "013".
When I adjust the sliders to turn the beam on and start a pattern nothing happens; no mirror movement, no laser. I suspected that there was something I was doing wrong on the laser itself....maybe there is a dmx mode or something. I called Omnisistem and the guy asked me to take him through all of the steps that I executed. He said there is no problem and that it should be working.
The DMX also connects by a pigtail that connects to a serial port on the back of the laser. This cord could possibly be the problem as well as the laser itself.
I understand that this is probably not anything of your concern but was wondering if you had any ideas as to something I could try or check that I may be overlooking.
If this does not belong here at all remove the thread and I will figure it out somehow. Thanks!
