According to the description you fixture has 17 gobo's and:
108-171 Positive/Negative Rainbow effect with increasing speed
172-251 Strobe effect with increasing speed
You need to devide those 2 in steps. Lets assume 4. (but you may do more or less, what fits the best).
Meaning you need to configure 25 (17+4+4) gobos.
The 108-171 should be spread out over that 4 "gobo's".
Same goes for 172-251. Insert nice pictures to explain what it does.

If you have more questions, please post your exported fixture file with it. (*.pff) so we can see were youre at.

Plese post the file! If you have any further problems we will be able to help you.

If you tested the fixture file and everything works fine post it to the user created fixture files section. So if anyone else want to use the fixture file he can use ures and does not havte to create the same fixture file again.

oke, I'm finished creating the file, can you tell me how to attach the pff file?
I did not test it jet, since I do not have the interface yet....

If tested it, i will post the file for other forum members.
Also I created all the pictures for the gobo's and the fixture as wel, including the ones for the gobo flipping.
Should I upload them as well, and where should I do this?

In the fixture creator you can export the fixture file you created.
Choose: File->Export.

It will export an *.pff file, that file contains *everything* needed. So you don't need to attach images and other stuff.
Just attach the *.pff file to your post using the upload attachment tab shown under the editor when creating or editing a post.

I just gabe the ixture file you created a quick look. Everything seams to be fine. Now it is up to you to test with the fixture at your side.

The only thing I noticed you set a lamp on/off channel but no shutter channel. Test the master blackout function. I am not sure if that will work. I think (but do not know exaclty right now if I am right) that blackout will close the shutter. If blackout does not work with your fixture file add values for the shutter channel:
channel: 4, open: 246, close: 0 (or something like that, I guess you know what I mean).
