3.2. Patching fxtures Fixture library

Before you can begin programming, a fxture must be patched (or added) to the software. Fixtures can be chosen from the Scan Library profle list to the left of the Setup screen. To patch a fxture, drag a fxture from the left and drop it onto the patch grid on the right, or select a fxture on the left and click the ‘Patch’ button. Be sure that the address the fxture has been patched to matches the fxtures address in reality. The example below shows 4 moving heads patched to address 1, 19, 37 and 55. The address is normally set either by a digital display on the lighting fxture itself or via a set of DIP switches. 4. Select a DMX universe to view (grid view only) 5. Select a DMX universe to patch your fxture into. 6. Select a starting DMX channel for your fxture. 7. Choose how many fxtures should be patched. 8. Choose an index number for the fxture (efects are created in index order when the ‘Select All’ button is clicked within the fxture window). 9. Patch the fxtures into your project as per the settings above. 10. Grid/List View. You can highlight/select multiple fxtures at once in either the grid or list view, then right click on them to show various options (copy/paste, delete, duplicate, add to group etc). 1. Search for a profle. 2. Refresh the library. 3. Import a profle from your harddrive.
