Title: Channel Numbering Off
Post by: msiebri on April 08, 2016, 09:36:40 PM
I'm not sure if this is considered a bug or not.  I was testing my new Bethlehem star, and found that my channel numbering was off based on what lights were on.  I checked everything and all my controller and channel numbers seemed correct.  I counted how far I was off and it was 208 channels.  Then it clicked that this was the number of channels I have assigned to the first row in the Setup tab for my LOR controllers on the USB dongle, but I did not have the USB dongle plugged in.  When I clicked "Output To Lights"  I got the error dialog that the COM port couldn't be opened.  I dismissed it and continued, which is when I saw the channels off.  When I quit out of XLights, plugged in the USB dongle, then relaunched XLights, all the channels were right where I expected them to be.

The behavior was the same both in running a sequence and in the Tools->Test Window.
