Seeing fixture DMX channels from sequence

Post by perrip »

is there a way to figure out what DMX channels a fixture was set to when you made a sequence. I removed some fixtures from a location file, and I added them back in. the sequences I made for them do not work and I think I may just have the addresses wrong for the fixture. Wondering if I can figure out what channels the fixtures were on by looking at the sequence. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I think but but don't quote me on it if you right click and 'open with' a text editor like notepad you may have some luck trying to work it out

Opening them up in Notepad The CHS files have a more decipherable pattern than the old CHB which is just a bunch of characters. Even still with the CHS file there were so many numbers I was not sure what the channel is.

You will probably need an editor that can display in HEX.
