personality for classic tiger
Hello guys.I have created a fixture personality (using the avolites software) for my classic tiger to control a led par (8 channels). It worked fine except one issue i have which caused me a lot of time but still cannot go threw it. Here is my problem: when i load the personality in the console and patch my fixture i can select my attributes only from the end right sight of the mixer on the grey keys.The console didn't give me the option to select attributes from the soft white key next to the LCD screen (select an attribute) and that make it really hard to control the fixture! any help will be mach appreciated and save me lot of time as well!

I think you are referring to Attribute Tables? These are essentially preset palettes.
As far as I am aware it is not possible to generate these directly from Personality Builder so you will have to edit the files in a text editor. The easiest way is probably to create palettes in Personality Builder and then edit the tables slightly.
A standard RGB palette output from Personality Builder will look something like this in the file (taken from Generic, RGB, 3 DMX - GENRGB3D.R20):
A table might look like this (taken from Generic, Generic RGB - RGBLTP.R20):
The important difference is the -1 and 4 in the PFTABLE header. 1/2/3 in the header refer to the channel offsets for RGB. If you take the 'RGB Col' table, change these offsets to match RGB in your fixture and paste it into the preset tables section of your R20 it should give you a colour mix table that works.

Re: personality for classic tiger
Thanks Nick i will check that.My fixtures is RGBWA does that mean i can choose a different preset pallet i guess correct?
Re: personality for classic tiger
If you want to reference all five components you just need to add two more columns with the relevant offsets in the header.
