MODIFY FIXTURE

This allows you modify the channel attributes of a fixture that is already assigned to a
fixture number. You can also use this to create a new fixture that isn't in the library.
To create a new fixture you must first select an existing fixture as described above
in the "Choose Fixture" section. Try to choose something that is similar to the one
you are trying to create or start with the "Generic Dimmer" which is the first choice
from the list. You can later use the "Copy Fixture" feature as described in the next
section to duplicate the new fixture.
There are nine fixture attributes that can be modified. The attributes are: fixture
name, number of channels, black channel, black value, pan channel, pan fine
channel, tilt channel, tilt fine channel and crossfade mode. From the "Modify Fixture"
menu, use the cursor switches to move the underline cursor to the fixture number
to select the fixture you want to modify. Next move the cursor to the "attribute"
which is displayed immediately to the right of the fixture number to select from the
nine fixture attributes. Next move the cursor to the bottom line of the display to
select the value for the attribute you are changing. You must always press "ENTER"
to record any changes you make to an attribute. The message "DONE" will
appear in the display when the change has been recorded. The fixture attributes
are described in the following paragraphs.
NAME is the fixture name that appears whenever you select or deselect a fixture.
You may want to modify this attribute for each of your fixtures to show fixture
purpose or location. You must place the underline cursor on the character you
want to edit then use the + or – switch or the data wheel to select a character.
