No DMX above 200

I'm running a show wit two sets of RGB + Intensity fixtures. One set at 100 > 103 and one set at 200 > 203

Yesterday I encountered a problem sending a DMX signal to address 200 and above.

If I change the adres of the fixture itself to a lower adres it works fine.

If I use different software (like the supplied Enttec Pro manager) the Fixture works fine so it seems a LX problem?

Has anyone encountered this problem?

I'm using LX Console on a mac running OSX 10.13.6 with an Enttec Pro.

The default file has 100 channels patched 1-to-1 with each channel controlling the same DMX address. If you go to the setup and add channels, you will need to patch those additional channels. The channels will appear as un-patched in the main display. The quickest way to patch these is with the popup in the Setup Channels tab. Use the Patch 1 to 1 command.

There are many ways to patch and control your lights. Straight 1-to-1, channel=DMX, as described above is the simplest. But, however, you have your file arranged, the problem sounds like it is most likely in the patch.
