Hello There
I just joined the forum today and already asking questions. Does anyone know the make and model of the pocket scanners used in the dmxcdemo29hosh video . I have 2 here in the uk. They are badged under zoom raptor but I cannot find a dmx control file (Patch).
Trying to get my head round the software so if anyone has got any starter tips I would be grateful.
Thanks
Christoff

Hello,
what DMXControl Version di you use? You have already installed the Update 3?
When the Problem with that could not be solved please post the Error Log, found in the DMXControl Root dir with File Type ending .err
sorry for my bad English
Greetings, Simmon

Hi Simmon
Your english is good!
Yes I am running update 3. The error log is not in the root directory I have looked in them all?? -
Hello,
When DMXControl crashs there Should be an Error Reporting tool. There will an explicit discription in which Part of DMXControl the error is and what type the error is. There you can save the .err file, than its located in /program files/DMXControl. Or you just type what is thanding there or you make a screen shot.
Have you done anything special when the DMXControl crashes? Like pressig a specific button?
Greetings, Simmon

Hi Simmon
The software does not crash for any given reason it simply stops then windows closes I will try to get the windows error log next time it crashes.
Thanks -
If DMXC crashes "hard" with a Windows exception, the problem most likely is located in some external component or plugin.
Please try to disable the Vellemann output plugin and report if the problem persists.Stefan

Hello
I did as you suggested and removed the velleman driver. The programme still crashes (HARD) windows. I dont know how to capture the data from this crash. I have checked the temp files but they are not there. Any Ideas Guys?

Just as a guess: Is this on a notebook and/or do you have an "Synaptics" touchpad?
Stefan

Hi Stefan yes I do have a Synaptics touch pad!! No its not a notepad I have an acer aspire 5920g With all windows updates installed. The programme crashes for no reason No plugins etc. I dont even have to move the mouse it just crashes.
Thanks for the support Guys. -
Hello again guys
I reinstalled the drivers for the synapticd touch pad and hey! the programme is now running. Well almost. I dont appear to have any output lighting. The dongle is flashing steady but their is mo lighting output from the channel that i switched on. It was working before these crashes. I did have control and the light did respond to commands sent. Whats gone wrong? -
Hey,
check xour output plugins, maybe thers no Plugin activated. When nothing helps try to reinstall DMXControl.
Maybe you have just the Blackout Button pressed? or the Freeze button?Greetings, Simmon
-
Hi Simmon
I reinstalled and all ok!!
Thanks
Guys for the help. Hopefully I can get my head around the programme features. -
Hi Guys. I managed to create 3 new scenes by following the tutorial by Hoc. My main problem here is following a set work flow from beginning to end. Does Hoc or anyon elso here have any more great tutorials.
Thanks

Hi!
Uh, you managed to translate everything more or less? =) Great! I should update the english-Wiki on that. I think you are talking about the "Lauflicht und Grundlagen von Effekten" (Chasers and basics on effects)-Text.
But I had in mind to use as many screenshots as possible, that fact could have saved you anyway.
This Tutorial was more or less a try to make some step-by-step "howTo"s. So I should continue on that. Sorry about the english-wiki beeing so poor. In the next big version (3.0) of DMXControl this will be improved by concept.What are you dealing with? Whats your "most wanted"-Tutorial you are looking for? Perhaps I can find some time to do it.
Hoc
By the way:
Is the term "running light" for a chaser (some lamps flashing up one by one) a correct term in english? That topic was discussed on a free english-german-dictionary-project. I can hardly image because its a "word-by-word"-translation. And thats normally horrible... -
Hi Hoc
Im wanting to learn how to add a scanner to scene and add effect via the effects generator. Also im looking to control individual scenes via midi. If you can help. What should the work flow be.
1. Create Fixture
2. Add fixture in graphical view
3. Add scene to scene list
Then I seem to get stuck!!Thanks
Chris -
Hi Hoc
For lamps lighting up one after the other single is called a "Single forward chase"
For lamps lighting up two at a time it is a "Double Forward Chase" -
Hi Guys I managed to get midi control of lighting scenes through the scene library. I have a problem here. I got control of say yellow light test ok with midi control. Then I Control blue, then red. When I go back to test red I have lost control for no reason. I check that the midi input is still there all is ok with that. For some reason themidi remote works when ever it wants.
Any Ideas
Thanks
Chris
P.S Simmon
the reason I could not get lights on yesterday was the midi remote was active and this wont lett the lighis work.
Thanks for all your help here guys. -
