Hi Jingles,

Due to your support here and a few other keen folks on YouTube
I am now a believer in the MyDMX system and as I get used to it
you can expect some good videos from me. At the moment, I am
having some "growing pains".

I've been assigned to revamp a nightclub's lighting.
We've got a MyDMX dongle now to replace existing console and ...

2 Martin Acrobat
6 Martin MX-1
3 Chauvet Techno Strobe
1 Chauvet Ultimate Haze HZ
8 American DJ Pocket Scan
2 NFI Angel RG 130mW Red Green DMX Laser
+ some conventionals

My qestions:

1 - How do I add fixture profile updates from the files downloaded
from the AmericanDJ MyDMX page? ( Steps ? )

2
Is there a fixture profile available for the NFI Angel RG?
I can't find any info on this product as far as what faders do.
Any ideas?

3
This demo video of the Pocket Scan shows what appers to be a
red laser effect in the middle of the blue beams
at 16 to 18 seconds in. Is this correct?
There seems to be a fader 7 "Laser" indicated, however I can't get
it to work and the ADJ data states it is a 4 channel fixture.

Do you know the fader values to get this effect?

4 What is the name of the parameter file that I should back-up
to protect my work?

5 What is the full path to this file?
(Eg. MyComputer --> C: --> Docs&Settins -- >ProgramFiles --> AmerDJMyDMX --> ?? )

6 If I give you measurements and photos of the room and the rig
with good labels, would you be able to create a 3D sim and a show?
I expect the amount you would charge would depent on how difficult
I make it for you (lol) so I will do my best to provide the data
( room dimensions and such, truss height, fixture angles, etc. )

nightclub welcome to the forums yes i do build 3D rigs and program them and yes i do program them Smiler lets go through the questions first.

1) simply drag and drop them into the scan library folder on your hard drive. The file path is. C drive> mydmx> scanlibrary.

2) I am not sure i will have to check my library. but if not i can make one for you no prob if you can get me the DMX traits in PDF format.

3)I will have to check this out. if it is right you may need to call service to see if they can help you get it working. i know these are out of warranty though.

4) All you do is save your my dmx file (saves as a .dlm file type) and the location is by default for some reason "My documents" but i however have always saved it within the mydmx folder on the c drive.
5) was basically answered in number 4.
6) feel free to send me pics to my email and we can discuss there. jamesk at americandj DOT COM.
