Hi!
I'm trying to make a personality for the 9q8's so i can use them in visualizer.

Opened the file from Titan mobile in personality builder and made viz file.
Most things work, except that they always flash at a slow rate.
about 60bpm i guess..

How can i fix this?

I must add that i'm quite new to building personalities. This is my first try.

Requested the personality, but needed it quick, so decided to try myself..

Usually the ranges in the vis file need to be adjusted manually = with a text editor. If you want, you can send me the files you created (and the manual along, if possible) by e-mail; I will try to fix it, and will comment the changes for you.

Haven't found the Slimline manual yet. However, open the created vis file with a test editor (use a plaintext editor).

Find this section:


Add some more mapping lines, e.g.

Mapping 0 0 0 0 //Shutter closed at DMX 0
Mapping 1 10 1 1 //Shutter open at DMX 1...10
Mapping 11 255 30 300 //Strobe at DMX 11...255, slow to fast

(you may of course omit my comments, including the two slashes)

Best, S.

thank you for quick reply
I will email you the files right now.

Mail sent.

However, you have only 5 channels in your files, while the original fixture - and the Avo files - have 7 channels.

Btw., you can use the same vis file in either case. Vis doesn't support white nor macros.

Thank you so much for the help.

My viz file now works!

Let the programming begin!!

Thanks for the feedback, have fun
