peter Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi Sam The Punisher fixture profile is included in our latest fixture library (Release 19) so all you need do is download this to a floppy disk and patch it like any other fixture. As far as setting the address on the fixture itself, the User manual talks about DIP switch settings although doesn't seem to give any specifics. I'd try setting it to address 1 (switch 1 on?) and see what happens, then work from there. Someone with experience of these units might be able to give more specific advice. Hope this helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobitLight Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yes. It is availible in the latest Fixtue Library. You then need to make a CFT file with all of the fixtures you wish to use (max. 12) using the Common Fixture Manager found here. If you want more help I've made a tutorial that I can e-mail to you if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 HobitLight, you don't need to make a CFT file in order to use the fixture library on the desk - when assigning fixtures, simply select <Select Fixture from Floppy Disk> and you can browse the library stored on the floppy disk and patch directly from it. Hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with experience of these units might be able to give more specific advice. You need to set DIP switch 10 ON as well, to receive DMX.(It's covered in the manual) HTH Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norty303 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Isn't it also printed on the back panel as well, or is that just on the Destroyers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
