This is another example for creating a vis file (old visualiser personality) from a d4 file (Titan personality). The fundamentals are described in Creating vis files from d4 personalities. Here, only the little details are explained.

• this fixture has subfixtures (cells) - a feature neither the classic consoles nor the visualiser support
• instead, we build a vis personality which at least shows cell #1 so that we have an impression if the fixture should work
• colour temperature control is not supported
• patterns and sound are not implemented in the visualiser (they are in no visualiser I know of)

Apart from that it works reasonably well in the visualiser.

The DMX table:

(full DMX tables are in the manual which is included in the zip below)

Most importantly, when setting the Classic Pearl References in the Personality Builder, we also need to add the attributes to the respective Compatibility Attributes sections of the multicell modes as this is where R20 and VIS files are created from:

• check Classic Pearl References as described
• add references for the 26ch and the 30ch modes (I used UKCM65C5 and UKCM65C6)
• unfold both modes (left panel)
• click on Compatibility Attributes (left)
  
• top-right, in the Created Attributes tab, doubleclick on the attributes you want in that mode (26ch: Dimmer, Shutter, Red, Green, Blue; 30ch: Dimmer, Shutter, Red, Green, Blue, Colour Macro, CTO, Auto, Sound) - the attributes are assigned channels in the order you add them, thus adding in the correct order makes life easier
  The coubleclick adds each attribute to the selected mode (here: compatibility attributes). Alternatively you can drag and drop the attributes there.
• now we need to check/correct the channels for each Compatibility Attributes section. Click on Compatibility Attributes (left), then on the tab Channel (bottom right). Check (and correct) the channel offsets as required, Some adjusted definition: ChanRef Dimmer Vismode Strobe UseBits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 DmxOffset 1 Mapping 0 7 0 0 Mapping 8 15 1 1 Mapping 16 131 30 300 Mapping 132 139 1 1 Mapping 140 181 30 300 Mapping 182 189 1 1 Mapping 190 231 30 300 Mapping 232 239 1 1 Mapping 240 247 30 300 Mapping 248 255 1 1 End The edited and tested files are in this zip: my_fixture.zip.
