Request for Chauvet COLORband T3
Hello, I'm needing a profile for a Chauvet COLORband T3. I use them in 13 channel mode. Upon my attempt of creating a profile, I was able to have control of the light but the problem is that this fixture has 3 segments that can be separately controlled in the same fixture. When i would control it through my profile, the whole bar would light up and would only function off of the last set of RGB, completely ignoring the first 2 segments but lighting the whole bar. I have to use 13 channel mode because alot of my chases are using each segment of the light separately. Attached is the manual and also my attempted profile. Cheers!

Re: Request for Chauvet COLORband T3
First thing to check is to ensure your physical instrument is configured for 13 channel mode.
In Freestyler, after you select the fixture, open the Colors window (or all windows)
In the bottom left of the Colors window there are 4 check boxes.
In the left most (1st) check box click on All
The right most 3 check boxes represent the 3 segments of your instrument. If the box is checked Freestyler will send RGB DMX values to that segment corresponding to the color selected in the pallet. From the description of your problem you may have all 3 segments checked and thus all segments react identically.

Re: Request for Chauvet COLORband T3
Thanks for the reply! I don't have the physical instrument in front of me. They are at the venue. Im building scenes off site then loading in. I checked the boxes mentioned, and even if i only have one segment checked, the whole bar still lights up in visualizer. Would visualizer actually show only 1/3rd of the bar lit?

Re: Request for Chauvet COLORband T3
I have not used visualizer so can not answer your question.
Give this a try. Open the Output window (from the Freestyler menu click Output then click Show Output). The DMX value being sent to each DMX channel is shown.
Locate the channels for your instrument.
Select the fixture and open the Colors window.
Check all 3 boxes.
Use the Pallet to change the color - all 9 channels in the Output window show change values.
Now uncheck 2 of the segments.
Using the pallet change the color again. This time only 3 of the channels in the Output window should change.

Re: Request for Chauvet COLORband T3
I appreciate the help! Viewing the ouput window like you mentioned revealed that I am in fact changing the segments separately, however the visualizer doesn't show that. It shows the whole bar as a single unit change, not showing 3rds separately. Visualizer is using the fixture in 13 channel mode as well and am seeing the output show the same data that FS is.
