Diamond 3 HTP Personality problem

[janvanbree]

Hello all,

I recently bought a D3 console and i'm currently fitting all my fixtures onto it.

The Problem:
We use a lot of Showtec Sunstrips (bar with 10 halogen bulbs wich all are independently dimmable, like 10 separate dimmers). When I patch these as dimmers it uses a lot of faders. I know for the Pearl 2008 there is a 10 dimmerpack personality (witch can run shape's as well). I couldn't find this personality for the D2/D3.

I tried to create a personality on my own but it has the problem that when I alter one channel, all the channels follow. This is what I made up. Can anyone help me correct this?

I'm afraid there's no way for me to investigate this until after the Avolites office opens on the 4th January as I'd need to actually have the DIII in front of me to test if this is possible.

Hope that's okay.
