problem with Martin Roboscan Pro 518

Hi there,
I am trying to adapt a fixture file I downloaded from the FS-web to control my Martin Roboscan Pro 518 fixtures. After some redesigning it works fine, but still I have some smaller problems that I could not solve so far:

1: the Robo 518 has a remote lamp-shutdown option, which works fine with the standard martin-controller, but not in FS. Any Idea what could be the reason? I should set the values for color to UV pass, and the effects wheel on the correction filter and hold these values for 3 seconds. I tried with a macro, FS counts down 3 secs, but the lamps don't shut down.
2: open/close shutter works fine, but once I am in Strobe mode the shutter cannot be set back to open/close with the 2 shutter buttons. By moving the shutter slider I can go back to open.

All the rest works OK, I programmed all half-colors as well instead of full colors only. If anybody needs the fixture file I will upload it as soon as everything works OK.
BY the way: I just ran my first FS-show this weekend and it was a lot of fun!

first one, setup an override button as a flash button with a sequence that does what you just described then click and hold the button for 3 secs or more and see if that helps.

second dunno... try a bug report
