NOTE: Eos only reads the following fields: (note that in LW5 you can order these fields any way you please. But you could just select the fields you wish to import. (It is recommended that you export it right to your USB drive.) Then Click "Save"įrom here the simple sure-fire way is to place a check mark next to every field in the scrolling window to the left.

Start by opening the Lightwright Show file you wish to import. Where to Begin? The process is different depending on your Lightwright version. There is not a direct way to change this field inside the Lightwright program. I have yet to figure out if this "Device Type" field will change under any circumstance in LW5. On the other hand Lightwright 5 seems to input "Light" for every instrument type. Lightwright 4 will change the fields listed in the device type column based on what Instrument type you use. It is extremely important to note that Eos will not import any rows that say anything other than "Light" in the "Device Type" column. Import will not select your fixture type in patch.)

REQUIRED FOR IMPORTĭevice Type( Instrument type has to be fixture to be marked as "Light" other instrument types will NOT import)ĭevice Type (all instrument types export as "Light". If "Light" is in the field, Eos import allows the associated fields to map. You may need to manually add this back to the file name in the finder on Mac.ĭuring the import process Eos is looking from the following column headers Purpose, Channel, Dimmer, Color, Circuit Name, Circuit#, and Device Type. If you are a Mac user you must pay close attention to how you export your file from Lightwright. Additionally, Eos will only successfully import a tab delineated file with windows character returns.
