I've tried playing around with creating a new fixture for this new GigBar with no luck. Wondering if any gurus can help? This is the only ILS fixture I currently own from Chauvet and don't plan on using the ILS feature since it's very limited. Thanks in advance!!

Including the online PDF fixture manual:

This type of fixture is interesting. If you want to take another stab at creating a fixture, changing the way you think about the fixture may help. The fixture is actually MANY (I count 12) fixtures:
2 Derbys
2 Spots
2 Pars
1 Laser
4 LEDs
1 LED STROBE control

Create 6 fixture files:
- Par (7 total channels - channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
- Derby (6 total channels, channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
- LED (1 total channel, channel 1)
- STROBE (1 total channel, channel 1)
- Laser (1 total channel, channel 1)
- Spot (9 total channels, channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

When you add the fixtures to Freestyler MAKE SURE you specify the correct starting address (remember to adjust the following channel values depending on the starting channel you specify to the GigBar):
PAR 1 is channel 1
PAR 2 is channel 8
DERBY 1 is channel 15
DERBY 2 is channel 21
LED 1 is channel 27
LED 2 is channel 28
LED 3 is channel 29
LED 4 is channel 30
STROBE is channel 31
LASER is channel 32
SPOT 1 is channel 33
SPOT 2 is channel 42

If you have other instruments you may want to do something with the fixture names and pictures that show they are related and group them together on the Freestyler workspace.

Good luck and have fun.

Please don't hesitate to ask additional questions.
