Creating colorado profiles

[Tizor]

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

</subchannels>

</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.
