Chauvet Colorrail 26ch

[spdj20]

Yeah I know I'm probably crazy but I would love to have full control over this thing.

I've looked at the Wiki page for LED Bars and so far what I've come up with is this

Creating fixture file for just the individual RGB segments 3ch with R,G,B only x 8

Creating fixture file for just the strobe channel (Freestyler gives me an error though)

Creating fixture file for just the dimmer channel (Freestyler gives me an error though)

So when I try to create a single fixture with either only a strobe or intensity channel I get the error "Channel is higher than total channels"

Any ideas how I can accomplish this. Should I be using the RGB segments tab?

[Spirit]

yes Crazy would be a good word

But on the Fixture config. tab

You have
Manufacturer:
Fixture name:
Fixt.Picture:
Then under this you have "TOTAL CHANNELS"
Here you need to fill in the amount of channels your going to add to the Fixture file.

as the error says: "Channel is higher than total channels"

and yes i would make a Fixture with the RGB segements.
and the "Total channels" should be "26"

Hej Spirit

Sorry sometime I read things a bit to fast you are right Spirt so wrong answer from my side

Think he is trying to make a combined fixture.
The problem is that the Dimmer and Strobe are not in the same end.

If I am correct then you need

ch 1 Dimmer 1 ch fixture
ch 2 - 4 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 5 - 7 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 8 - 10 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 11 - 13 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 14 - 16 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 17 - 19 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 20 - 22 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 23 - 25 RGB 3 ch fixture
ch 26 Strobe 1 ch fixture.

I am not sure how well this will work beacuse of the intelegent part in FreeStyler where Shutter and Strobe are connected.
But the strobe can as a work arround be placed on the gobo wheel. (I think)

An alternativ could be to use RGB segments then you can have all controls in one fifture.
