fader not ignored when running a chase

I want to be able to ignore the intensity channel on my mini spots because it goes through strobes. I created some scenes and ignored the intensity fade on the subsequent scenes. I monitor the DMX values. When I step through the scenes it appears to do as I want and not change the intensity but when I run it in a chaser it modifies the intensity based on what I see in the DMX monitor. the test file is attached

Your showfile shows a weird behavior:
1st: your strobe is a separate channel: shutter, so I don't understand that your intensity is influencing strobe.
2: your scenes do not have fade times defined. So sentence 2 has no sense. You did not include the intensity channel inside subsequent scenes.
3: this is wrong: you cannot have 3 tilt and 3 pan channels ...

ok I looked up the specs and it does have 2 tilt channels. Hmm - I would suggest changing the profile because you will experience troubles when using the EFX. EFX only addresses 1 tilt possibility, so the outcome will be strange I guess.
4: the reason why your intensity level stays is because the intensity channel in your fixture profile is LTP. (Latest Takes Precedence) This is non-standard, so I would change it to HTP.

After changing the fixture profile, you'll see another outcome when you go through the steps.
