Fixture based on the manual.

The extended mode uses 22 channels.
Standard mode uses 18, and compared to the short mode with 14 channels, the "pan and tilt speed" option might come handy.

I had to do a lot of mods to this one. The manual gives ranges for functions within each channel - the provided definition used single values at the end of each range and there were a lot of numbers with no function allocated at all.

I've corrected/added the physical data and added a number of missing functions.

Hello boxy,

The DMX value range in the lamp is full filled, but it does not always make sense, especially when using with a software that can send precise values.
For example, in the first DMX channel, Strobe, values 10-20 stand for Open, and 245-255 also stand for Open. Then in qlcplus, we have two ranges, thus two scroll-down menus, instead of just a single button that stands for open.
So, numbers with no function were the ones with a redundant value.

Most other corrections make sense, thank you. Sorry about some mistakes, my first work.

Istvan,

it is important that the capabilities fill the range as much as possible. Sometimes the conversion is backwards - from DMX value to e.g. color and we need to know what color/function belongs to a particular DMX value. One example is 2D monitor.
I have just corrected another fixture (Chauvet 6 Spot) that provided just single values. I wondered why when I move slider in Simple Desk, there is always a white color. The problem was, that whenever the slider selected undefined value, white was displayed as default color.
