The original definition at viewtopic.php?t=6563 and included by QLC+ since version 4.8.0 has the following errors or malfunctions:
-Since the lowest range of the strobe/shutter channel (ch. 13 in 14 ch. mode) is named “off”, the Monitor (2D view) never represents any color when the shutter is within the range 0-9 makes monitor, unlike the real fixture. This range should be renamed, for instance, as “open”, since what it's "off" is the strobe effect, so the shutter is open. When the word "off" is included in a range of a fixture channel definition, as well as words "close" and "blackout", makes the monitor switch off fixture colors.
-Channel 11 (temperature color) is not defined as a "Colour" channel, but as a "Nothing" channel.
-Channel 11 (temperature color) is not shown at simple desk when the view mode is switched to fixture channels (however it appears when view mode is set to show all channels).
-No color is used to illustrate the color selected in channel 11 (in the 14 ch. mode), i.e. whites with full intensity and adjustable color temperatures, so the QLC+ Monitor (2D view) can’t represent these colors.
-According to the manual, channel 12 (in the 14-channel mode) contains 28 preprogrammed colors, but the manual doesn’t specify what colors are. In consequence, no further details (neither colors nor channel ranges) are included in the definition and the Monitor (2D view) can’t represent the preprogramed colors.
-We recently purchased some of these heads. Due to the lack of information, we experimented with these fixtures and, surprisingly, we found that they don’t include 28 preset colors in ch. 12, but 32!! (Please, someone else can confirm?).

It is likely that definitions and manual specifications of some other fixtures of the same family include the same error (they mistakenly indicate 28 preprogrammed colors instead of 32). It would be valuable if someone could check it.

The new definition in the attached .qxf file:
-Makes that Monitor (2D view) represents the colors of this fixture properly and according to the real fixture for the whole range of the strobe channel.
-Shows the channel 11 at simple desk in both view modes (fixture channels and all channels).
-Includes displayed colors to illustrate the colors preset in channel 11 (whites with full intensity and adjustable color temperatures), see example in the attached file Ch11.jpg. Now Monitor (2D view) can represent these colors.
-Includes the details of all 32 preset colors and the Click & Go functionality with the colors displayed (see example in the attached file Ch12.jpg). In the description of each of the colors, besides a quite standard color name, they are included the values of R-, G-, B- and W-faders of the fixture that exactly match that color, according to our trials. Now Monitor (2D view) can represent these colors.

The displayed tones illustrating colors preset in channel 11 (whites with full intensity and adjustable color temperatures) were taken from RGB mapping dataset provided by Mitchell Charity’s raw blackbody datafile in http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/b ... color.html. In concrete, we used dataset refered to CIE 1964 10-degree color matching function.
