4/8 segment mode led Batton

Loaned some Battons off a friend, they do 8 segment mode but when I dmx them upto limelight they only register as 4 segment mode.

Does any one know if there's a way to change them to 8 segment whilst dmx'd up?

Cheers

RTFM perhaps?
Limelight doesn't 'know' what is connected to it, so cannot decide what mode to run a light in based on the mode thelight is in.
Tell us what fixture it is and we can RTFM for you ;)

Oh, penny's just dropped I can't RTFM cos I can't find the fecker

as it stands this is what it does
dim 1 = built in features
dim 2 = adjusts built in features
dim 3 = Strobe (slow to fast)

dim 4 = section 1 red
dim 5 = section 2 red
dim 6 = section 3 red
dim 7 = section 4 red

dim 8 = section 1 green
dim 9 = section 2 green
dim 10 = section 3 green
dim 11 = section 4 green

Dim 12 = section 1 Blue
dim 13 = section 2 blue
dim 14 = section 3 blue
dim 15 = section 4 blue

Ok, so you need to change the mode on the fixture then, and use the 8 segment Limelight profile (I'm assuming it uses profiles of some sort?)

The layout ouf the RGB channels is weird though, as it makes it difficult to expand from there. Normally you get the channels running RGBRGBRGBRGB so if you want to add more segments you just add more RGBRGBRGBRGB

Having watched the second vid, when it says CH15, press up/down or sub. I suspect SUB = Submenu so try this first. Often referred to as 'Enter' on other fixtures. The display will probably flash at that point to show it can be edited. You should then be able to use up/down to change the channel mode. I suspect it will be CH27 (15+12) on the display, assuming it keep s the 3 control channels the same.
Press sub to select the new mode.

norty, your a ledgend, the scroll up from 15 did it!!!!
