4.10 Help and Hints
Problem : LOCATE FIXTURE won’t work.
Solution : Some Fixtures use a zero value for the colour mix Channels to
give white light. These Fixtures must have these Channels Inverted in the
patch to work correctly with Locate Fixture. See Section 4.5 Inverted
Channels.
Alternatively the personality can be altered to automatically invert the
Channels. The latest personality files can be picked up from the Website at
www.avolites.com.
Problem : Colours and gobos are not crossfading.
Solution : Set the Channels to be Fading.
