For the Control Lines to Ballasts, I have the + connected to the violet on the ballast, and the - going to the grey on the ballast. In the software I have the 10v interface set to 1v min and 10v max.

Any suggestions?
Figured it out, I had the control lines backwards (although in the correct order which I had checked several times). So now the ballast will fire and dim correctly, but will shut off when it reached around 20% on the way to full power. I can get it to turn on by unplugging and replugging the Profilux controller, but unplugging and plugging in the ballast does nothing.
