Multiple fixtures on the same DMX Channel

Post by meisjohn »

Hello,

I have some dimmer packs with multiple lights plugged into the same channel (i.e. 2 PAR spots plugged into the 2 outlets on the same dimmer channel.) I was wondering if there's a way to represent this in the Device Browser Physical layout. If this is possible please provide instructions.

On a related note, I tried adding a new device ID in the Patch window and then reprogramming it to have the same DMX channel and I got weird results:

If this isn't allowed then there should be logic in the code to prevent it. If it should be allowed, then there's a bug how the patch window is drawn.

Thanks,
John.

As it turns out, there isn't a way to do what I want in the 2D visualization inside of the Physical tab of the Device Browser.

The issue I saw by adding two devices to the same DMX channel shouldn't be allowed and that's why it blew up the Patch window visualizer.
