Reset default intensity to zero

[Simonkbike]

I was changing defaults on my moving head lights and now fixture #5 has a Default intensity value of 5.  (ie. on the source screen it has yellow "D") I tried re-saving it to zero but it won't stick, reverting back to 5 when I clear, clear.

Settings are as shown, and I've tried variations of tagged vs selected fixtures. 

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? I don't think any other option for the yellow D applies.

Simon.

Hmm, well that's annoying.  It seems to have reset itself. I've finished working & gone back to the -1 cue at the top and all is restored. 

You can see on the photo above that I was on this cue and the MH lights (108, 109) had a hard 0 value, while I was trying to reset Ch5.  Now, all channels are blank as it should be.

Happy to delete topic if that's appropriate.

Hi Simon,

Good to hear it seems to have fixed itself. I've just popped in to leave a few comments.

You may have accidentally knocked the intensity encoder wheel slightly when making changes, so when re-recording default values with RECORD -> HOME -> Default, the intensity information is also included in the defaults of the fixture.

Were you using RECORD -> HOME -> Default to do this after changing the intensity to 0%?

This next bit is unlikely, but did the 'Intensity' selection button have a red indicator instead of blue? If it was blue, that intensity information won't be recorded into the defaults, so when you CLEAR CLEAR, the fixture will still go back to the original intensity default value. An image is attached with 'Intensity' under 'Attributes' having a blue indicator. The reason I say this is unlikely is because when you make a change (intensity in this case), when tapping RECORD, the changed parameters (which are therefore tagged) will be automatically in red to show they are selected. Though with this being said, in the image you have provided while trying to change fixture 5's intensity back to 0, 'Intensity' has a red indicator...

Correct - the yellow D in 'Sources' as opposed to 'Intensities' indicates the intensity is coming from a default value of that fixture. A red P in 'Sources' indicates a manual programmer adjustment or modification.

All in all, it is sorted, but I just thought I'd provide little segments of extra information in case anybody reading this isn't sure.

Have a great week Simon.

Kind regards,
Archie
