Forum rules
This forum is designed for you to get HELP with building fixtures, Please make an attempt if you get stuck YOU must upload your partial fixture file (as an exported fixture file) so we can point you in the right direction if you don't do this you won't LEARN and if you don't learn you will may never be able to get the fixtures you require. It is Very hard to make fixtures for people when we don't have the same light at hand to test it with after all having the light in front of you makes programing so much easier! That's why we will help but rarely build any fixtures for you. You Alone are the best person to build your fixtures if you need help ask if you want it building for you Don't....

you could make 3 separate fixture files; one for each mirror... I did that for a 6 segment LED bar

i'm not sure what your issue is? and why do you assign 9 channels when the pdf you uploaded says 8 channels?

Sounds like a problem with addressing if certain channels don't respond. Or a defective light.

What are channels 2, 3, 6 and 7 doing?

That's what happens when using the "Three Claws" file right? And Nothing with the 3 other files?

I never had to make a multiple mirror file, but I would think that all three should all have a total of 8 channels so that the addressing lines up to the channels for each different mirror. You currently only have 4 channels in those three fixture files. I don't see anything in the manual about a color channel. I assume the colors actually change because of the pattern?

I'm not sure exactly how this light is supposed to work. I wonder if ch. 1 pattern A corresponds with ch 5 pattern? Does ch. 2 pattern B correspond with ch. 6 pattern? Does ch. 3 correspond with ch. 7 pattern?

If I had the light, I could figure it all out. But I don't have it, so I'm guessing on this end because the manual is not clear enough.
