Check that the dimmer is set to HTP (either via the Classic Pearl Wheel Mapping section in Personality Builder or in the DMX section of the .R20 file - should be 'H' in the third column of the dimmer row).

I don't see any major problem assuming it all matches the fixture's DMX charts. Dimmer is defined correctly. The only faults are with green where it is set to instant mode (I) instead of fading (L) and has the category set to A (fixed) colour wheel instead of U (green). The latter would stop colour mixing shapes from working properly.

If possible can you explain in more detail what you are doing and what is happening compared to what you are expecting to happen?

My test would be to start with a wipeall, set the fixture to the 8 channel mode (if there are mode options) and address 001, connect the fixture directly to console output A with a known working cable. Patch 1 instance of the fixtures to address 001, output A, select the fixture and locate. The fixture should light. Then press clear. The fixture should go off.
