Hold Last Look Forever is Not Working on my Source Four LED Fixture

Symptoms/Issue

When DMX is lost or removed from my fixture, Hold Last Look is not functioning. 

Description/Explanation of Issue

This is a bug in v1.8 software, where if your fixture is powered on with data present and Hold Last Look is set to Forever, Hold Last Look Forever won't function until DMX is removed and restored. 

If your fixture is in Studio mode, please look here:  https://support.etcconnect.com/Source_Articles/ETC/Fixtures/General/Studio_Mode_Has_No_Data_Loss_Configuration_Option

Fix/Solution

  1. Power on with no DMX present
  2. Use a Gateway that has its own Hold Last Look settings
  3. Set fixture to Hold Last Look 2 min
  4. Remove and restore DMX after fixture is fully powered on and booted
