Personality File Problem: Channel Definition

[WouterVerlinden]

Hello all,


why does the following channel definition inside a personality file generates a problem for the locate fixture functionality?:

3 61 s 1 100 1N E 1 "Pan" 128 -1 -1
0 0 L 2 100 1N E 1 "Pan Low" 0 -1 -1
3 1 s 3 100 1N F 1 "Tilt" 128 -1 -1
0 0 L 4 100 1N F 1 "Tilt Low" 0 -1 -1


While I managed to fix it like this:
3 61 s 1 100 1N E 1 "Pan" 128 -1 -1
0 0 L 2 100 1N E 1 "Pan Low" 128 -1 -1
3 1 s 3 100 1N F 1 "Tilt" 128 -1 -1
0 0 L 4 100 1N F 1 "Tilt Low" 128 -1 -1


I tried the 128 for the Most Significant Bytes and the 0 for the Least Significant Bytes because this is exactly the home position...

The 128 MSB / 128 LSB configuration solves the problem, but is not the "exact" home position...

Not a real problem, but I would like to understand what is going wrong inside the console while interpreting this personality...


Greetz,

I don't think anything's going wrong here but as I understand they do both have to be the same. I remember asking Olie about it a while back regarding fixtures that had problems with this (media server), but can't remember exact reasons why.

Nobody from Avolites staff here who knows the answer?


Thanx,
