Hi Guys
Hope I am in right area.. I have taken over lights here. And the person who setup QLC on the system is not around. We are trying to update a few fixtures.
1 that is confusing us is our Ovation H-605fc.They are a 16 channel light but are using 17 channels in the program ?
I have included a photo of the setup.
Any help is appreciated

I don't know why your predecessor did it that way, but you're missing some of the benefits of QLC+ by just assigning the channels to generic dimmers. You should create a fixture definition for them so you can see which channel is Lime and which is Lime Fine, without having to remember that channel 11 is Lime and channel 12 is Lime Fine. :)

It's easy to replicate the 17th channel by adding a by adding an address gap when adding the fixtures to a project.

You might start with the Chauvet Ovation P-56FC, which is a very similar fixture, making sure to change the fixture name and dimensions.
