Q Light Controller+

How would you go about defining a fixture where the values actions set by different values on channel 2 where dependant on which value was set on channel 1? As per the attached mode table.

Here's a definition with a similar issue:

<Channel Name="Strobe/Speed/Sound Sensivity">
<Group Byte="0">Effect</Group>
<Capability Min="0" Max="10">No function/Slow to fast/Off</Capability>
<Capability Min="11" Max="15">No function/Slow to fast/Control the sound sensitivity level</Capability>
<Capability Min="16" Max="255">Slow to fast/Slow to fast/Control the sound sensitivity level</Capability>

Ignore the xml data - just look at the bold text. Each function is seperated by '/'s.

If the descriptions are too long they should be shortened so QLC+ can show them in the Simple Desk tab correctly.

Note how 'No function' for the 'Strobe' overlaps 'Off' and 'Control the sound...' between 0 and 15. This way a whole mess can be sorted out.

Thanks boxy.

Does that mean that you have to write the xml manually, as the fixture editor can't handle overlaps?

No. It was the easiest way of me demonstrating how to do it.

To keep the amount of text used down, put repeated information in the title eg: Mode, Effect, Speed etc.

Have a go and post it. Then we'll see.
