yes 🙂 now it's clear, thanks ++

sorry Petr, I think we don't understand each other... one more try please. in the xml there's for offset 22: <ChannelFunction Attribute="Frost1" CustomName="" DMXFrom="0/1" Default="0/1" Max="1.000000" Min="0.000000" Name="Light Frost" OriginalAttribute="" PhysicalFrom="0.000000" PhysicalTo="1.000000" RealAcceleration="0.000000" RealFade="0.000000"> <ChannelFunction Attribute="Frost1" CustomName="" DMXFrom="84/1" Default="84/1" Max="1.000000" Min="0.000000" Name="Medium Frost" OriginalAttribute="" PhysicalFrom="0.000000" PhysicalTo="1.000000" RealAcceleration="0.000000" RealFade="0.000000" <ChannelFunction Attribute="Frost1" CustomName="" DMXFrom="170/1" Default="170/1" Max="1.000000" Min="0.000000" Name="Combined Frost" OriginalAttribute="" PhysicalFrom="0.000000" PhysicalTo="1.000000" RealAcceleration="0.000000" RealFade="0.000000" from what I understand they all are not the offset default level but in range default level. What I would like to get is the offset default level... or maybe I should grab the first one? thanks, ++

thank you for your answer, but... with Robin Painte Fresnel, here's how is decscribed offset 22: <DMXChannel DMXBreak="1" Geometry="Head" Highlight="0/1" InitialFunction="Head_Frost1.Frost1.Light Frost" Offset="22"> <LogicalChannel Attribute="Frost1" DMXChangeTimeLimit="0.000000" Master="None" MibFade="0.000000" Snap="No"> <ChannelFunction Attribute="Frost1" CustomName="" DMXFrom="0/1" Default="0/1" Max="1.000000" Min="0.000000" Name="Light Frost" OriginalAttribute="" PhysicalFrom="0.000000" PhysicalTo="1.000000" RealAcceleration="0.000000" RealFade="0.000000"> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="0/1" Name="Open" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="1/1" Name="Light Frost from 0% to 100%" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="51/1" Name="100% Light Frost" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="54/1" Name="Pulse closing from slow to fast" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="64/1" Name="Pulse opening from fast to slow" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="74/1" Name="Ramping from fast to slow" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> </ChannelFunction> <ChannelFunction Attribute="Frost1" CustomName="" DMXFrom="84/1" Default="84/1" Max="1.000000" Min="0.000000" Name="Medium Frost" OriginalAttribute="" PhysicalFrom="0.000000" PhysicalTo="1.000000" RealAcceleration="0.000000" RealFade="0.000000"> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="84/1" Name="Open" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="87/1" Name="Medium Frost from 0% to 100%" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="137/1" Name="100% Medium Frost" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="140/1" Name="Pulse closing from slow to fast" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="150/1" Name="Pulse opening from fast to slow" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="160/1" Name="Ramping from fast to slow" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> </ChannelFunction> <ChannelFunction Attribute="Frost1" CustomName="" DMXFrom="170/1" Default="170/1" Max="1.000000" Min="0.000000" Name="Combined Frost" OriginalAttribute="" PhysicalFrom="0.000000" PhysicalTo="1.000000" RealAcceleration="0.000000" RealFade="0.000000"> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="170/1" Name="Open" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="173/1" Name="Combined Frost from 0% to 100%" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="223/1" Name="100% Combined Frost" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="226/1" Name="Pulse closing from slow to fast" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="236/1" Name="Pulse opening from fast to slow" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> <ChannelSet DMXFrom="246/1" Name="Ramping from fast to slow" WheelSlotIndex="0"/> </ChannelFunction> </LogicalChannel> </DMXChannel> and in the doc as in the attached file. What I would like is the info like in the doc. best regards, Nicolas

Hi Petr, while working with new Robin Painte Fresnel file I've noticed that HOME levels for offsets are not part of gdtf file. I calculate them to be ok with my software... but it could be very convenient if they could be part of the file. I know that there's ever a Default properties for <ChannelFunction> but that's the snap level. So, would it be possible to add a Default property at <DMXChannel> record? where the offset is declared (like this for example : <DMXChannel DMXBreak="1" Geometry="Head" Highlight="None" InitialFunction="Head_ScrimIndex.ScrimIndex.ScrimIndex" Offset="21" Default="128/1">) best regards, nicolas

Hi Petr, thanks you for your answer. I've adapted the strategy in my software, so now it's painless for me. best regards, Nicolas

Hi, this file for example Martin_Professional@ELP_PAR@20241107NoMeas.gdtf have 555 permission on some folders. I don't know if it's a usual practice but in my app I decompress .gdtf files, use what I need and then *delete* extracted files/folders. But with 555 permission I'm screwed. Is there's a way for you guys to prevent/modify permissions? for all of files to be at least 755? best regards, nicolas

thank you Petr for the fast answer :) so I need to refer to <GeometryReference> node in order to calculate offsets, isn't it ? ++

Hi Petr, in Robin Spiider, Mode 10 - Pattern full RGBW, after offset 55, it's written offset 76, 77, 78, 79. isn't it 56, 57, 58, 59? Also in the doc it's written that Mode10 use 123 offsets. Does it mean that from 59 to 123 they're all virtual? best regards, nicolas

Hi Petr, thank you for your answer and your plan to update the rest of Special functions. IMHO it's the responsability of console manufacturer to ensure that value is held "at least" for the duration defined by the manufacturer. in D::Light case in means that value is held for 4.5s as you defined it to be 4s, I would much prefer that duration in gdtf files reflects what manufacturers says... :) ++

Hi Petr, thanks, it works for me (see attached pict). In the manual it's written: To activate following functions, stop in DMX value for at least 3 seconds. Why did you set 4s in the macros? also do you plan to update them for 'Power / Special Functions' offset? (offset 6) also, could you please fix the "Slow t ofast" typo :) best regards, Nicolas

thanks for the link. so not yet, DL does not know about MacroDMX xmlNode. But if you have an example file I can write the parse for it :) ++

Hi Petr, if by Macros you mean an hold time for Control Functions, then yes :) It would be very nice if you could plug your Robe files with Control Macros. best regards, nicolas

great !!! please keep in mind that as D::Light now parse gdtf files, thousands of theater compagny (large or small) have access to it :) best regards, Nicolas

which is a pitty... I saw console where you need to hold the button during 5sec before lamp goes off... I didn't knew I can edit them myself, i'll try. thanks. ++

Hi Petr, ok... does it mean I have to modify all fixture's personality that require this field? or is it something manufacturer have to do ? ++
