Hi, hope this is in the right place!

I've just started to get my head around our new congo at work- I'm just about to play about with some old fixtres - Showtec Club Spot 575 and Skytec 575 moving head and was wondering if anyone has created a fixture profile/template for them? If not, would any of the current library enable me to get them working?!

Thanks

Attached is a showfile containing a template for this fixture. The manual is a bit vague in places, so I don't know how accurate I've got it.

To use this template in a show, choose Browser > File > Import, choose Template and select the Club Spot 575-E.

Notes:
This fixture doesn't have a separate Dimmer attribute, so I've built a 'fake' Intensity for it which may make it feel a little strange in operation - you'll need the fixture Intensity at 100% for the Strobe and Lamp Controls to work.

EDIT:

The original attachment was slightly corrupted (looks like it was my fault), so I've reuploaded the proper version.

EDIT 2: I've downloaded and checked "v2", and this one works fine. Sorry about the original mistake!

Keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Have tried , but no success I'm afraid - it wouldn't load into the desk even though I followed steps suggested on here and in manual. Kept coming up with an error,  then closing software..... :(

Hmm - I have also tried it here and I'm seeing the same crash you are seeing. I've sent the play off to our developer, so hopefully he'll have an answer for us tomorrow. In the mean time, you could try building the template yourself on the console. The process is described in the help system/user manual in the following section: Patching>Settings and Tools>Templates.

Sorry for the inconvenience -
