Hello,

(Active Version: MadMapper 3.0.3)

any Manual for the Fixture Import?
CSV File Specs would be nice..

I try to get this csv in madmapper .. no success ..

Always the same Massage about an empty file under MAC CSV Excel Export.

Normal CSV breaks with Error in line 1 .. :/ (universe;startChannel;startPosX;startPosY;endPosX;endPosY;fixtureWidth;fixtureDefinition)

So please.. i need some help here.. ;D..

universe;startChannel;startPosX;startPosY;endPosX;endPosY;fixtureWidth;fixtureDefinition
1;1;0;1;30;1;1;Gen
1;2;0;2;30;2;1;Gen
1;3;0;3;30;3;1;Gen
1;4;0;4;30;4;1;Gen
....

Remove the first line with the header.

Merci for the quick response.

I've deleted the Headerline, but I still have the same error messages.

Some Idea how i can fix it.
Maybe the File Format? (I try every csv option in office with no success.)

My CSV Table looks like:

1 1 0 0.5 30 0.5 1 Gen
1 2 0 1.5 30 1.5 1 Gen
1 3 0 2.5 30 2.5 1 Gen
1 4 0 3.5 30 3.5 1 Gen
1 5 0 4.5 30 4.5 1 Gen
1 6 0 5.5 30 5.5 1 Gen
1 7 0 6.5 30 6.5 1 Gen
1 8 0 7.5 30 7.5 1 Gen
1 9 0 8.5 30 8.5 1 Gen
1 10 0 9.5 30 9.5 1 Gen
1 11 0 10.5 30 10.5 1 Gen


can you provide me an example file for research please..

Here is an example. First line can be there

Fixture Definition Name,Start Universe,Start Channel,StartX,StartY,EndX,EndY,Width
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,1,0,0.5,2,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,4,2,0.5,4,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,7,4,0.5,6,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,10,6,0.5,8,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,13,8,0.5,10,0.5,1

Hi Mad,

Sorry - but - i try everything... with no success.
I don't get it.. and i dont know why.. the Error messages that i got is wrong i think..?

What CSV Format with ";" or "," (Normal is ";") - you provide the sample with ",". (i try both)

What does the Error message mean
- "Failed importing files from file: Error at line 1, column 1, no such fixture definition: Generic - 2x1 RGB".

I try numbers and text - Everytime the same error message will come up - "no such fixture definition".

Also your fixture definition provide an Error..?
Any conversation for that field (String, Num, Float)...??

TEST 1 - NOK
Fixture Definition Name,Start Universe,Start Channel,StartX,StartY,EndX,EndY,Width
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,0,0,0.5,2,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,3,2,0.5,4,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,6,4,0.5,6,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,9,6,0.5,8,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,12,8,0.5,10,0.5,1

TEST 2 - NOK
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,0,0,0.5,2,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,3,2,0.5,4,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,6,4,0.5,6,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,9,6,0.5,8,0.5,1
Generic - 2x1 RGB,0,12,8,0.5,10,0.5,1

Also the same with ";" doesn't work.
I also try Excel Export Formats with (DOS CSV, MAC CSV, Standard CSV).

An tested sample file would be nice.. because - no manual, no specs, nothing.
I only found an xcode project at gitHub (Build fails) and an animated gif with an old spec.

So please can you tell me the trick.

That's exact, the example I sent you uses a "fixture definition" called "Generic - 2x1 RGB". That's a fixture definition I created in my library (2x1 pixel RGB). You don't have it in yours, that's why you get the message: "Failed importing files from file: Error at line 1, column 1, no such fixture definition: Generic - 2x1 RGB".
The error message is clear in fact.
Replace it with "Generic - Pixel RGB" and it will work.

Fixture Definition Name,Start Universe,Start Channel,StartX,StartY,EndX,EndY,Width
Generic - Pixel RGB,0,1,0,0.5,2,0.5,1
Generic - Pixel RGB,0,4,2,0.5,4,0.5,1
Generic - Pixel RGB,0,7,4,0.5,6,0.5,1
Generic - Pixel RGB,0,10,6,0.5,8,0.5,1
Generic - Pixel RGB,0,13,8,0.5,10,0.5,1

Attached is the file

Hi Mad,
