Scanners shase - how to hold dimmer values during move

Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

Hi all, I would like to create a chaser where I use 2 main types of scenes: First type is position scene which uses only PAN and TILT channels of a scanner fixture. Other channels are disabled. The other scene uses only SHUTTER and DIM channels.Other channels are disabled.
My idea is to set the DIM+SHUTTER values before a movement (0ms duration) and then let the scanner lights do the movements (with given time values). When a position is reached then I would give new DIM+SHUTTER values for the next movement.
This is how I would do an endless loop with chaser.
The result is not as I expect as the light does not hold its DIM+SHUTTER values, it flashes for a moment and make the movements without light.
How should I fix this?
If I add additional button (all fixtures DIM to 100%) to my virtual console, it works but with all lights. The scenes I included in the chaser I do not set all fixtures to 100% intensity.
Scanners I use: Eurolight TSL-200.
Thank you

Put your shutter and intensity mode into LTP-mode.
Now, the latest values will be used for the output.
You will need a zero-values scene, to deliberately kill the scanner output.
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore

update: Using LTP was the key to operate the fixtures how I wanted to. Thank you, problem solved!
