Hello,

Is the attached PDF the correct manual for your instrument?

If so, in which mode are you interested?

Regards

Attached is my attempt at a fixture definition for your instrument.
Please test and post any issues - I will attempt to correct any problems.

Your instrument is actually 2 instruments in one - wash and spot. The wash function has separate dimmer and strobe controls from the spot function. Sometimes the best way to define such an instrument is to define multiple fixtures so that the various functions are represented by a fixture. Due to the DMX channel structure of your instrument I choose to keep everything in one fixture definition - thus BLACKOUT will not turn off the lights in your instrument and I did not define a strobe channel. These functions are controlled from the standard DMX sliders - the helpful programming windows for these functions are not available.

Programming windows that ARE available:
Beam
Colors
Gobos
Macros
Custom Sliders
Pan/Tilt

I noticed that your version does not have labels for 3 of the channels. You may find that a bit confusing during programming. Also, while certainly not a problem, I did not see the gobo shake values in the gobo wheel.

As you have made the effort to build a fixture definition you will probably find it easier to use the one you built as you are more familiar with it.
