Bob, suggest you consult page 81 onwards in the Manual:

 

Fixture Creator

 

Ion provides you with the ability to create your own fixture type within patch and store it with your

show file. You can name the fixture, assign all necessary parameters, define the address and

operational range of those parameters, and set lamp controls.

 

All fairly easy and probably the quickest way!

If you pop over to the ETC forums and take a look here, you'll notice that somebody helpfully made one for the SGM Idea Par Zoom RGB.

 

I couldn't make a personality template for the Idea Bar because SGM don't appear to have made the manual for that fixture available on their website.

From the technical info it looks likely that in some of the modes it can be patched as several Generic > LED RGB fixtures, but cannot be sure of that.

 

(Unfortunately I can't attach show files to posts here.)

I created a personality for our MVS hazer the other day on the Ion, was really quite easy but couldn't find a way of naming your own attributes - you appear to have to just pick the names from a huge list. I couldn't find 'Fan' or 'Angle' on the list so ended up just using 'User 1, 2, 3'.

 

If you need any help creating one let me know and I can talk you through it.
