Try this:

<Fixture menuname="ELAR LED Par 9ch" uniqueid="ELA9" excelexportid="ELA9" pixelwidth="1" pixelheight="1" output="CUSTOM" comment="ELAR LED Par 9ch" channelcount="9" channelsperpixel="9" orientation="TOPLEFT">
<channel index="1" output="RED" />
<channel index="2" output="GREEN" />
<channel index="3" output="BLUE" />
<channel index="4" fixedoutput="0" comment="White"/>
<channel index="5" fixedoutput="0" comment="Colour Temperature"/>
<channel index="6" fixedoutput="0" comment="Rainbow"/>
<channel index="7" fixedoutput="0" comment="Auto Program"/>
<channel index="8" fixedoutput="255" comment="Strobe"/>
<channel index="9" fixedoutput="255" comment="Dimmer"/>
</Fixture>

INSTRUCTIONS: (also see screenshot)
1) Right click on your catalyst aplication and 'Show Package Contents'
2) navigate to: Content / Resources / FixtureTypes.xml
3) Open the FixtureTypes.xml in text edit
4) Paste the code above in to the bottom of the file after the last fixture, but before </FixtureTypes>
5) save FixtureTypes.xml
6) close the finder window
7) start catalyst

The new fixture: ELAR LED Par 9ch should appear in the fixtures list.

According to the manual - Strobe should be at 100% (255) to get an output
Dimmer is also set to 100% (255)
I've defaulted the white LED to zero as there is no control channel for this...
The other channels are set to 0

You can use the basis of this to create other fixtures - just ensure the names are unique.

Do Let me know if this works or if you need any further assistance
