No Lights with Sequence Editor

[Casey Mulder]

Just got all the lights and controllers set up today. (yes, I procrastinate!)

I can control the lights just fine with the Hardware Utility, but when I play the sequence in Sequence Editor, no lights come on.

I checked all units and channels seem to be configured correctly.

I checked that "Control Lights" is clicked on in Editor.

I made sure I closed Hardware Utility before playing.

Anybody have any clues what I should look for?

Thanks!

Did you remember to register the software?

A demo version will act 'normal' but won't control the lights.

Hi Don,

 Thanks for the fast response!

I'm pretty sure I registered when I bought the package. (i"ll have to double check)

Thanks

Yep, I can see my licence Number.

When you have the Sequence Editor (And only the SE) open, what color is the box at the bottom right of the SE? (Very, very bottom)

[Casey Mulder]

Blue

Based on what I've read, I would wonder if you properly set the address of the controllers and/or the controllers/circuits in the sequence. That blue box means you have communication with the controller. If you have Control Lights checked, then I'd be making sure the sequence or controllers is configured correctly.

I'm using 2 controllers Unit 1 and Unit 2. Each light strand responds correctly in Hardware Utility per its channel.

I just restarted everything and am going outside to check it again.

Take a look at that image. You have a few duplicate channels.

I would suggest running the LOR Verifier (LOR Control Panel -> LOR Verifier) and see if the sequence has errors.

The reboot/restart of everything worked! Beautiful!  The duplicated channel is because I was too lazy to separate the upper and lower eaves.

Appreciate the assistance!

Merry Christmas

Take the duplicate out of there. It will cause problems later on.

Good to hear everything is working now.
