I started setting up a show this afternoon: same lighting rig, same ENTTEC USB DMX Pro, same dimmer packs, etc. I entered the first few cues, and ran a test. The lights come up and down all right, but the fade time is completely ignored. I can see the fade timer proceed on the main screen (I generally use 5 sec fades), but the lights just came up immediately. The channel selection is right, etc, but no fade times.
I opened an SCS file from an old show. The channel assignments weren't the same, of course, but SCS had the same response to fade times. That show worked fine when we did it, and the fact that it no longer does fade times correctly makes me think SCS has gone through some kind of coding change or something in this area.
I searched the help file, but found nothing that indicated I had set up the cues incorrectly.
In a (possibly) related area, I tried to create a 2 step chase (it's The Wiz, and director wants some flashing lights for the tornado). I entered 2 steps, green to red, and tried to run the cue. Nothing. Not even any light at all. Changed to 120 BPM, still no lights.
Admittedly, Id never created a chase before, but it seems pretty straightforward. Unless it's not.
Any help would be appreciated. Show goes up next Thursday.
tnx
