Attached is my attempt at a fixture definition for your instrument.

The fixture is defined for the 6 channel mode of operation for your instrument.

If I understand the user manual correctly it should also work for the 12 channel mode and the 48 channel mode. To use this fixture definition to control your instrument in 12 channel mode simply add 2 fixtures to the Freestyler work space; for the 48 channel mode add 8 fixtures to the Freestyler work space.

Your feedback is welcome.

Hello,

Thanks for the help. i will test it soon.
Every 6 channels is 1 segment. the fixture has 8 segments so..6x8=48 channels.
I think you need to made 1 fixture with 48 channels when you want the 8 segments.

Yes, every 6 channels is 1 segment. And, as you said, 8 segments times 6 channels = 48 channels.

1 fixture could be defined with 48 channels. The problem with that approach is the 8 dimmer channels. Freestyler will only recognize 1 channel as a dimmer. The other 7 certainly can be controlled via the standard sliders, they will not respond to the Master Dimmer, Black Out, or the programming window. By using the 6 channel fixture and adding 8 of them to the Freestyler workspace (making sure they have the correct addresses) then Freestyler is aware of all 8 dimmer channels.

Please check the configuration of your physical instrument:
(1) it is set to DMX
(2) it is set to either 6, 12 or 48 channel mode
(3) that the starting address of your physical instrument is the same as the starting address of the Freestyler fixture

Please use Freestyler's backup to create a backup of your location. Post the backup to this conversation.

Also, I'm not sure I understand your comment, " if i remove the fixture then i see some leds burning red or blue whatever." Please explain in more detail. Thank you.

When you remove the DMX signal then the fixture goes into sound or auto mode and give you some random light.
To me it looks like the DMX is working. DMX signal present default data send probably 0 on all 6 channels.

My suggestion will be to connect only this fixture and set it to address 1, both in Freestyler and the fixture.

Then open the output monitor so you can see what you are sending / changing and then use the sliders in right side of FreeStyler to just test the what happens.
