I purchased an American DJ Ultra Quad Park Pro and it includes 4 ADJ MEGA QA PROFILE lights. I see definitions for the following:
Mega Par Profile
Mega Par Profile Plus
Mega QA Par38
Mega TriPar Profile Plus
However, nothing for the Mega QA Profile.
I have created a .qxf file, but only for one simple mode and I don't seem to be able to get the more complex modes set up right.
Does anyone know if the Mega QA Profile lights are clones of some other light whose definition would work or something really close that I might be able to use as a template to learn how to get the more complicated modes set up correctly.
Sorry, I am new to lighting, less than a week.
Any help would be appreciated.

I Posted the original question above, but have done some more work.
I use a MacBook Pro running Mojave and have an Enttec OpenDMX interface.
I think I figured out how to create the fixture def. It is attached. I would attach the manual, but it is too large. Unfortunately, I cannot find the user manual for the Ultra Quad Pak Pro online. (Fairly unbelievable)
In learning to create the fixture def, I made a 5 channel def and got it to work with QLC+ pretty well.
Then, through more research, I created a complete profile as well. (Attached File: American-DJ-Mega-QA-Profile.qxf)
Now, when I start a new project and add a fixture, the MEGA QA PROFILE definition is present, but only the original 5 channel mode shows up.
Even when I delete the file from the Applications/Contents/Resources/Fixtures/American_DJ folder, the fixture still shows up in the list. When I have replaced the dxf file, I still only get the 5 Channel Mode.
It seems as if the original file is somewhere that I cannot find and therefor, I am not really replacing the one that the app actually uses or it is cached somewhere.
Have tried:
Delete the file | Reboot | Paste the new on in, Repeat
Placing the file in MacHD/Library/Application Support/Support QLC+ folder
I can control the fixture in Simple Desk mode, but Scenes, Chases and Shows will not affect the fixture.
Any help is appreciated.
