The Avolites Discussion Forum

Hi all!!Need your help to the following.
I have to work 4 robes dilgital spots with my avo,and according to the dmx charts from robe,this fixture requires 136 dmx channels.
In our lfixtures personality library there are several files concerning 3000 dt,but the channels are 28.
As i noticed there are 6 files suitable for my avo,(third patch 28 ch,master layer 28 ch,gobo layer 28 ch,first patch 27 ch,second patch 25,and common effects 25 ch)
How can i patch these personalities to my avo? How can i control the channels required for these fixtures(136 for each one)
Any help provided will be highly appreciated.

I believe for each unit you should be patching:

"First patch"
then
"Second patch"
then
"Third patch" three times.

So you end up with five handles for every fixture.

Good luck!

thanks for your reply!!
till i dont understand how this is going to work as all patches are starting from dmx channel 1!!
do i have to do something more??

That should not be possible. If, after patching the "first patch", the dmx address does not automatically advance then something has gone wrong and it has not patched correctly.

IIRC this might happen if the floppy does not contain sg.dat. Easiest thing to do is download the whole of disk 21 and extract if you have not done so already.
