    Am I doing something wrong?
    Im using Scenes on a DLT unit and wish the lables to follow the trig lables for that scene
    even if I modify the lables they still donrt follow even though the 1.3 software idicates they will
    say I have 4 scenes all triggered by hall trigger and 4 seperat tags
    ON,High,Mid,Low
    te 4 labels will come up with
    ON, High,High,High
    even though the right triggers are assigned to the buttons
    Thanks inadvance
    Mike

    Things to check -in toolkit
    1 - on switch in the ?Global? page that the DLT box is set
    2 - you done a save to network
    3 ? in the ?DLT Labels? page set default language
    4 ? in tutorials section lots of stuff

    I have encountered the same thing on at least two occasions. When trying to label DLT scene buttons using Action Selectors such as Off, On, Movie, Entertaining, I'll end up with On, Off, Off, Off.

    I've been advised in the past that it's unwise to use Trigger Group 0 and also Action Selector 0 as far as labelling DLTs goes.

    I can confirm that the 'Off' selctor is 0, so there could be some substance to the advice.

    In a job where it was going to be way too much trouble to re-do all the action selectors I created dummy GAs in the lighting application, programmed the DLTs with their GAs to get the labels right, then turned Dynamic Labelling off for the switch and reprogrammed with the desired trigger action selectors leaving the labels from the dummy GAs there.

    Don't know if it's a 'known issue' or if it's been rectified in Toolkit 1.3 though.

    Cheers

    DLT 2.0.00 Action Selection 0

    Gents,
    This is a known issue with Action Selector 0 in DLT v2.0.00. It has been resolved since then.
    Basically, the label for Action Selector 0 gets applied to all scene buttons of lower key number.

    Work Arounds:
    Don't Use Action Selector 0
    If you have to use Action Selector 0, ensure it is on the first scene button on the unit. This ensures there are no lower scene buttons to get labelled and everything should be fine and dandy.

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    Thanks Mark, that's the exact situation I found myself in.

    Nice to know it wasn't me doing something dumb...for a change ;)
