setting a fixed dmx value for different modes on a led bar

[enricoc]

Hello, I'm writing a personality for a RGBW led bar. This bar has two different modes, 8ch and 36ch. OPerating mode is controlled by the value of channel 3. 0-40 is 8ch mode, 41-80 is 36 ch mode.
I made the personality file with two modes. Can I set the value of channel 3 in the personality and lock it ? 20 for mode 8ch and 60 for 36 ch ? How can I do?

You can if you create two different attributes for channel 3.

In one create a single function set to 'text only' and with DMX range 20-20.
In the other do the same with range 60-60.

In the 8ch mode assign the first version to offset 3 and in the 36ch mode assign the second.

Thanks, It works!
Another question: Titan Manual says the right place to save user personalities is MyDocuments/Titan/Personalities. I created the directories, put the personality and then restarted software but nothing. The only valid directory to put personalities into is d:/TitanData/Personalities
What I'm doing wrong?

[niclights]

On consoles since v6.0 the location for personalities is:

d:\TitanData\FixtureLibrary

(note that this directory might be hidden by default)

On PC (TM/T1/TS) the location is:

\program files\avolites\titan\fixturelibrary


(The intention is to have a separate location for custom personalities which would take priority. The locations for these are d:\personalities (consoles) and my documents\titan\personalities. However, at the time of writing this function is not working.)

May i add that the personality builder is wrong insofar as when you click 'Save to Fixture Library' it saves to the old location, where your precious new personality is not found by Titan itself.

Hi Niclights, Do you know when this will be working On TH
\program files\avolites\titan\fixturelibrary
Its a real pain in the a*** having to put your fixtures in the fixure libary every time you make them or edit tehm. In win 7 its almost impossible to add/edit them because of window 'ownership'
A file in docs is the way to go and the sooner the better.

[niclights]

I do not. Although I guess it would be reasonable to assume v7.0.

In the meantime you can solve the ownership problem with widely available registry hack that adds a 'take ownership' option to the explorer right-click menu. Something every W7 user should never be without. Google 'win 7 take ownership' or similar.

I was already considering making c:\program files\Avolites\Titan\FixtureLibrary a symbolic link to the new location. Haven't tried yet, but probably this would be a solution for this weirdness.
