Lamp Controls Via Serial
As of version 1.9.6 software, it is not possible via a command line interface to call Lamp Controls directly. For those installations that need flexibility in which fixtures they use lamp controls, the following workaround may be of use:
Record a Macro that is:
[Select_Last] {Lamp_Control} {Lamp_On} (or whichever command is applicable) [Enter] [Enter]
It may be best to do this via Learn and edit it to match.
To activate it, send two serial commands:
First, select the channel(s) or group of channels (example below):
$Chan 11 [Enter]
Second, fire the macro
Macro 1
This workaround allows you to create one macro for each type of lamp command you need, rather than a macro for each fixture and each of its operations.
Using Utilities -> Diagnostics, you can verify that the command was received and processed correctly.
