Scan Library Editor Issues

Former Member

This is my first forum ever so bear with me as I try to explain my issue.

I have 4 MBT LED PAR96 lights that I am trying to control using the MyDMX software. I looked in the scan library and found only one entry under MBT and it was not the one I need. I looked in other manufacturers folders for something similar but none exists that I saw. When I tried to add it using the editor I keep getting an error message that looks like it is in German and the editor program will not close even when I click the okay button on the error message. I was hoping you could help me get either the editor error figured out or the scan library profile for my lights. BTW they are 5 channel lights.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I was moving last week. I dont know if I am using the latest software or not. I loaded the software on the computer from the disc sent with the hardware. Where can I get the update?

Ok, I updated my software so I am now using the correct editor but I am having trouble adding the profile of the lights I have into the editor. Sorry to be such a novice at this. I have been just best guessing at most of the process so far.

Well if the old editor was buggy and you created your own profiles then chances are those files are corrupt. Or you could simply send me a link to the PDF manual for the lights you have and I can make the profile for you.

I imported that profile and made sure all my lights were addressed correctly and it still does not allow me to control the lights. In fact when I leave the MBT lights unplugged (no power but still in the DMX chain) I can control my COLORstrips no problem, but when I plug the MBT lights in to power I lose control over the COLORstrips too.

If the fixture has a dipswitch and a 10th dip switch try reversing it's current position.

open the my dmx 2.0 folder and there should be a folder named, "Scanlibrary" in there. If, not then try re-installing it or search your computer for .ssl2 file type and open the file location and that should be where the scan library installed.

If you are using my dmx 2.0 did you run the may 5th update that's on the website now?

Should be a scan library editor on the windows side.

got 20 mins to spare and then you can be self sufficient in the future or learn a new skill that can help you out in a pinch at a show?
