D-light DC-16 controller

   Yep everything was as you outlined. Like I said if I used the hardware utility by itself it controlled the outputs fine. I was able to resolve the problem by running the hardware utility from the add-ins portion of the toolbar from within Aurora. Once I set the address from there everything worked fine.

	Double checking. Be sure Device type is correct. Be sure Device ID matches what your HW Util "discovers" If you have made changes to the DCx16's ID number, it never hurts to restart the device by turn off the power. Be sure to click on the "Light Bulb" right under the word Playback at the top of the screen. It should be RED to get active output. And I'll assume you have the Serial Network set to the same COM port that your HW Util is using?

	Have you made sure that you have the D-light DCx16 firmware 1.13 picked as the controller for each channel? I know there is one that says D-light DCx16 (lor) Edited by ChrisL1976 - 16 Oct 2008 at 7:39am

	Sequencer won't operate any of the channels on my controller. The D-Light hardware utility works fine. But when Aurora is playing back the sequence the LED stops blinking to indicate communications but no voltage(tested with lights and a DVM).
