Hi Claude !!!

I’ve been working on creating .lxprofile files for various Chauvet COLORado fixtures, with the help of ChatGPT. Everything is going smoothly, except for one persistent issue:

I can't seem to get “Use = Intensity” to appear on Channel 1 without LXConsole also generating a line 1.1 (or sometimes 1.999), which shouldn't be there.

I’ve tried multiple XML structures:

Adding <use>Intensity</use> directly in the <part> tag for Channel 1

Declaring a subchannel with si=1 and d=1

Using a dummy si, like si=99, with d=1 and use=Intensity

But in all cases, either the word “intensity” doesn’t show up at all on line 1, or a 1.1 line appears — which I’d like to avoid.

Would you happen to know the correct structure to display “Use = Intensity” on Channel 1 without LXConsole generating any sub-line like 1.1?

Thanks in advance — any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again for your help !

The following is a modification of the COLORado Quad Zoom from LXConsol's library with the use for sub channel zero (which is intensity) set to "Intensity"

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<chan n="1">
<parts>
<part p="1">
<subchannels>
<sc si="0">
<k>Intensity</k>
<d>0</d>
<bytes>2</bytes>
<use>Intensity</use>
<dmxtable />
</sc>
<sc si="23">
<k>Red</k>
<d>2</d>
<bytes>2</bytes>
<dmxtable />
</sc>
<sc si="24">

<sc si="176">

</sc>
<sc si="170">

<d>14</d>
<dmxtable />
</sc>
<sc si="7">
<k>Spot/Flood</k>
<d>15</d>
<dmxtable />
</sc>
<sc si="195">
<k>Beam Macros</k>
<d>16</d>
<dmxtable />
</sc>
</subchannels>
<type>COLORado 2 Quad Zoom</type>
<address>1</address>
</part>
</parts>
</chan>

Subchannels below 1000 are reserved for standard parameters. Intensity is always zero. <sc si="0">

The <d> tag refers to the dmx offset from the base address. You are going to run into trouble if this is not correct and you will get unpredictable results.
