Hello all
I have made a fixture but it is not quite right yet.
In one way or another, I do not know exactly where the right addresses should come to finally get the lamp to work.
who would like to take a look?
I added the fixture and the link for the manual of the strobe. on page 13 you can find the right dmx channels
Super thanks again for the help.
PS do not look at the picture of the lamp, I can not find a correct one and still have to take a picture and put it as correct.

Attached is a picture .BMP taken from the PDF. I resized it to work with Freestyler.

There are 3 lights in this instrument. They may be controlled together when channel 7 is set between 35 and 69. If channel 7 is set between 0 and 34 the 3 are controlled separately. Macros would be good to use so that a single click will set the appropriate value.

A single Freestyler fixture can fully control the Ignitor. However, Freestyler on recognizes 1 dimmer and 1 strobe channel per fixture. If you use one fixture to control the Ignitor then some Freestyler functions such as Master Dimmer and Blackout will not recognize lights 2 and 3 nor with the beam window recognize the second and third strobe.

If you want Freestyler to recognize the second and third lights as a fixture with a dimmer channel and a strobe channel you will need to define 2 Freestyler fixtures, ie. a 7 channel fixture (call it the control fixture) and a 2 channel fixture (this will control the dimmer and strobe function). You will add 1 control fixture and 3 of the 2 channel fixtures to Freestyler. Note that when you do this you will need to adjust the starting channel addresses so that they are correct as Freestyler does not automatically allow an overlap of the channels.

Feel free to ask additional questions. Create the fixtures and upload them here if you would like us to take a look at them.

OK. No problem.

Create a fixture and specify Total channels as 7
The Intensity channel is 1 with min set to 0 and max set to 255
The Strobe ch. is set to 2. Set low to 5. Set high to 255. Set off to 0 - Freestyler will set med
In the Channel description tab, in the box next to the number 7, type Built-In Programs. In the same line, under Default, type 40.
Save your fixture.

After you add it to Freestyler and select it you can control the light by just using the top 2 standard Freestyler sliders. You can also click on the top menu item Window -> All. This will open a window that has the Off, Min, Med, Max strobe values. Just click on the speed you want.

If you decide later that you want the additional control you can always create the fixtures then.

Well, Mr. Rod, we did it! :lol: your name sounds like a man so I send you a spiritual hug haha.
I have set the settings as indicated and it works perfectly.
thank you for your help.
the crazy thing is that I can now control all LEDs as I want. so not only the strobe on and off but can even choose which LED may blink and which just fully on.

For people who are also looking for the fixture, I put them here so you can use them. :fs:
