SlimPar 64 8 Channel 3D Not Strobing [fixed]

[udjrentals]

New to Showxpress, however not new to dmx/lighting. I have everything working great in 3D view but the strobing effect for my 30 SlimPar 64 RGBA in 8 channel mode. I've tried just about every setting and searched for an updated profile with no luck. any one know what I could be missing? I have some older 7 channel RGB Slimpars working just fine on all channel in 3D view.

Here is the supplied profile I'm using with that came with Showxpress. The Macro's don't work as well in 3D nor on physical light.

This profile has 7 channels, and you said it should have 8 channels.
Please post a link to download the manuel.
We will check this.

So sorry, I posted the incorrect profile.

Filename: SlimPAR 64 RGBA (8CH).txt

ViewType = VIEW_TYPE_PAR_CAN
ViewPower = VIEW_POWER_LED30W
ViewAnglePan = 120
ViewAngleTilt = 90
ViewAngleBeam = 16
ViewReversePan = FALSE
ViewReverseTilt = FALSE
ViewReverseDimmer = FALSE
ViewReverseIris = FALSE
ViewColor = 16777215
2DViewImage = Chauvet/SlimPAR 64 RGBA.png

Channel = red

Channel = green

Channel = blue

Channel = amber

Channel = color_macro

Channel = speed_control

Channel = mode
RGBA mode,0,31 Pulse effect 0~100%,32,63 Pulse effect 100%~0,64,95 Pulse effect 100%~0~100%,96,127 Auto fade transition,128,159 Auto snap transition (4 colors),160,191 Auto snap transition (15 colors),192,223 Sound-active mode,224,255

Channel = dimmer

The two last lines :

Channel = dimmer
dimmer,0,255

must be replaced by something like ::

Channel = shutter
open,0,15 strobe,16,255

(not sure for values 15 and 16 ; we need the PDF manual)

Okay, I found the problem. It was on channel 6 that needed to change

From:
Channel = speed_control

To:
Channel = shutter
no_function,0,15,strobe,16,255

One would figure Chauvet would have the correct profile with the software. Now it's getting the Modes and Color macros to work.

Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the report.
We will correct the profile in the software.

Hi Udjrentals,

Thanks for the information. I will have it fixed and part of the next software release.
