I tried all the ways for read those file and using local usb . When I connect usb than I go to patch button -->choose fixture -> usb -> than I got one message load shape file. No shape file found on the selected drive press[Enter]->than I got error no fixture found. So can you help me please as soon as possible.

Personalities and shape file need to be in a particular folder structure:

Code: Select all

→ AVOLITES
    → FIXTURES
         → R20
              → sg.dat (the shape file)
              → folders of all the manufacturers

There is a special program 'Copy2008' to help putting all the files in the correct locations - see https://web3.avolites.com/software/down ... 2010-tiger to download.

And finally, the usb interface in the old consoles is of very limited capabilities. I'd recommend to use a usb thumbdrive not larger than 2GB and format it with FAT (albeit I believe fAT32 would work as well).
