Microscan 2 help [fixed]

Post by djjimmyg »

Hello,

I have the following setup:
a Chauvet Intimidator LED
and a Chauvet Micro Scan 2 (CH 615X)
Show Xpress software
Xpress 512 USB dongle

I have no problem with setting up the Intimidator because it is new and is listed under the Chauvet fixtures list. What do I select when I try to set up the MicroScan? It is only a 2 Channel DMX light but I would like to control it. What two types of channels are available? I know it is probably a Gobo but I am not sure what type of control the other channel is.

It is a very old light but can someone help me set it up in showxpress?

Thanks - DJ Jimmy G

PS - I did check in the DISCONTINUED profiles folder and I didn't see it.
PSS - should I just created a new fixture and set it up with generic channels? one would be gobo and one would be X? or Y? (this fixture does not really move X and Y it just kind of rotates and changes gobo patterns. Maybe one channel is color? is it considered a barrel or a scanner?

connect the mircoscan to the dongle. set it dmx adress 1
then go to editor and move the faders 1 and 2.watch what happens. my guess is one channel is dimmer/strobe, the other color/gobo
later you can program it in setup.
with no manual it a bit of try and learn

One channel is the shutter and the other is Gobo!
