pan/tilt range

[eugenumail]

Hello,
how can i change the 0 pan position and range in the simulation so that it corresponds with the reality. my fixtures pan stat and finish position is decayed by 45 degrees.

You need to edit the vis extension file, which usually sits in c:\program files\Avolites\Visualiser\Extensions.

First thing: check with the manual that the Pan travel corresponds with what is given in the manual of your fixture. In the following example I assume a fixture with a pan travel of 530°.

Then: Find the section beginning with 'ChanRef Pan'. There follows a line in this section containing something like

Code: Select all

Mapping 0 65535 -265.000000 265.000000

In order to rotate the default positions by 45°, you need to add (or deduct) 45 to both the values. E.g. if you add it, it would read

Code: Select all

Mapping 0 65535 -220.000000 310.000000

. Or if you deduct it:

Code: Select all

Mapping 0 65535 -310.000000 220.000000

.

thank you for your help.
And if i want to invert a channel (Iris), what values should i modify

// Iris
ChanRef Iris
Vismode Value
UseBits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
DmxOffset 13
Mapping 0 127 0 1
Mapping 254 255 1 1
End

ChanRef Iris
Vismode Speed
UseBits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
DmxOffset 13
Mapping 224 239 60 600
End

Change

'Mapping 0 127 0 1'

to

'Mapping 0 127 1 0'
