Hi you all,

I have a question about my show. I think I don’t understand how some basic things work.

In Universe 1 I have 2 Chauvet Geyser P7 and I tested them with simple desk. All is fine.
I created scene '00 - Chauvet Low Fog Blue' and added that to chaser '23 - Chaser - Chauvet High Fog Red- Blue Old'. When I click on the chaser and start it, it works fine. It just starts the fog and ends after 2s928ms.

When I add this chaser to shows and in my case '23 - Show - Man Down’ it seems to behave different than expected. I would expect that the chaser just ended, but the lights go off and the smoke stays on. I now use '23 - Chaser - Chauvet High Fog Red- Blue’ which contains the scene '00 - Chauvet No Fog’ but that only works when step 1 lasts at least 3 seconds. I am thinking I miss perhaps the understanding of LTP and HTP but it is hard to figure out. And it does not help that I need to connect the actual fog machine to test it.

Any help is appreciated! Am I missing someyhing?

HTP and LTP is only important if more than one function is present at a certain time. It decides which value will be sent. (the highest value or the lastest one)

You have to send in your custom fixtures also - I can open your project but can't decipher it without your fixtures.
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

I have some additional information about scene '00 - Chauvet Low Fog Blue’ that I based on scene '00 - Stairville Blauw’.

As you will see if you check theses scenes that the srtrobe function is set to 0 but the checkbox is checked. For the scene '00 - Stairville Blauw’ that was needed because otherwise the lamp stays on for ever if a chaser. So to be honest I checked the same checkbox on scene '00 - Chauvet Low Fog Blue’ too but I am not sure if we need that. I will test this as soon as I can.
