Author Topic: DCC wont save lamp amperage Drew King Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Valley Centre Drive, San Diego, CA Registered: Jun 2011 posted 07-12-2011 06:21 PM                     When making a new macro within DCC for the NEC1200c it wont save my lamp amperage setting. It saved my other changes but no luck on the lamp adjustment... What button am I missing? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 07-12-2011 11:08 PM                     I think you have to save it first as a lamp memory on the lamp page, and then add it to the macro. I believe it's under the advanced tab on the title page,it's a lamp setting. It hasn't been that long since I did it, but it's not really obvious.

Set your brightness on the slider and then use the entry key under the setup button to label and enter it into memory. Give the setting a label that relates to which macro it will be used in... ie: 2-D 1.85 XYZ... 2-D 2.39 XYZ, etc, etc so you can tell in the future when creating macros what goes with what. I can post a video tomorrow of how to do it as I am installing an NC2000 which sets up identically. Also let me know if you need an aperture...

I had the same issue until someone else explained this to me.  |  IP: Logged
