Printer not waiting exposure time. Lamp on while bed moves. Wanhao D7 Plus. Video attached.

Printer seems to be turning the lamp on while travelling and no exposure time sitting still. I'm using ChiTuBox and the Wanhao D7 Presets and 6 seconds exposure. Anyone know what I've messed up?

After having some issues with my own prints I tried the rook test print cws. The rook turned out great, little over exposed, but I'm very confident that the issue is not with the printer, attached is a photo.
I retried the my own print again copying some settings supplied to me by Wanhao (and reducing the exposure time a little.) like so:
Unfortunately the printer displayed the same strange behaviour. The bed moves continuously up and down with no stop for exposure while the lamp seems to turn on and off quite randomly through the travel. I'm quite sure it's an issue with the code coming out of Chitubox. I put a sticker on the lead screw to show the movement clearly. you can see the UV led light leak on the wall from the vents of the machine. Attached is a video:
Any idea what I can do to fix this? I am using Chitubox V1.6.3 and the Wanhao plugin to output to CWS. I've attached both the Chitobox project file and the output CWS.
The problem is with the default GCODE. have a look at the config files here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4545567. This will solve the gcode issue but not the CTB file naming problem that you will have next. The printer ignores the manifest file created by CTB and prints the images sorted incorrectly. I have not found a workaround to that yet. CTB needs to name the png files with leading zeros to solve this but there is no setting to change that.
