NOOB needing help with Mega tree setup

[fatcat46]

As a NOOB, I am trying to setup Xlights v21016.48 for my mega pixel  tree. It is going to be a 180 degree, 16 leg tree. I bought 8 strings of lights, 100 each, but I am going to have 50 on each leg of the tree, up leg and down the next. I am going to connect two strings together, with power injection to have 200 lights per port on my F16v2, so I only use 8 ports.

 I have setup the model but it didn't seem like I did it correctly. Why? Because when I look at the strands it shows 32, not 16.

So I changed the "#strings" to 8 and the "Strands/string" to 2. But I really don't know what I am doing or if I did it right. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Attached are screen shots of what I setup.

Shouldn't nodes/string be 100?

I don't know Gilrock. I'm not sure what the setting should be. That's why I am in need of help.

String = connection to controller 4
nodes /string as above 200
strands per string 4  (up, down, up, down)

Thank you Jim! I would never have figured that one out.

The way you had it would work exactly the same as Jim suggested if you changed the nodes to 100.

4 strings/200 nodes/4 strands = 8 strings/100 nodes/2 strands

Good to know Gilrock. Thank you
