Macros gone for lamp on LAMP ON Leap Frog 48

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am having some problems with my leapfrog 48 where about 2/3 months ago we had in the macros panel when we selected a vari-lite 2500 Wash there would be a option to lamp on and lamp off but about 2 months ago those 2 options disappeared and now I have to go into beamshape and do it manually but that is quite an inconvenience. In the macro tab now I don't even have the option to generate new macros, the screen on the board is blank. What can I do to bring them back?

Hi @glitcher0

The VariLite VL2500 Wash fixture personality has 4 fixture macros available:

  • [Fixture Display 100%]
  • [Fixture Global Reset]
  • [Lamp Off]
  • [Lamp On]

These will be created after patching the fixture and tapping Automatically Create Macros in the Macros window.

If this doesn't appear to be working for you, please email us a copy of your show file to support@zero88.com, and we will take a look.

on the macro tab on the board we have no macro options for any of our lights as well as not having the button to create macros, it is completely blank

Please could you confirm the current software version installed on your console?

If you haven't created any custom macros, I would recommend clearing all fixture macros. To do this tap SETUP -> Clear Options -> Clear Macros.

Then, exit SETUP, and hold SHIFT and tap MACRO, to open the Macros window. You should see a Automatically Create Macros button available if your fixtures have fixture macros available.

If you save a copy of your show file to a USB drive and email this to us, we can investigate.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you @Edward Z88

All I had to do was shift macros as it was not on the board but on the screen, thank you!

Thank you for the update, pleased to hear you can now access your macros.

Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with.

Hi @glitcher0

If you wish to control multicell fixtures with your Leapfrog console, I'd recommend installing ZerOS 7.10, available from the link below...

https://zero88.com/storage/downloads/0b68ecc6-9829-4000-b469-63b94a0c62c3/ZerOS-7.10.exe

If you do not wish to control multicell fixtures, ZerOS 7.9.9.5 software can be downloaded from the link below...

https://zero88.com/storage/downloads/607844fa-0fdf-401a-9e42-29c8fac4e7bf/ZerOS-7.9.9.5.zip

Hi @Edward Z88

Can you explain what multicell is please?

Thanks

A "multicell" fixture, is a single fixture with multiple light outputs, that can each be controlled individually.

For information on multicell fixtures, please watch the video below...

For more information, please see the link below...

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.
