CREATING MOVING LIGHT (ML) AND LED FIXTURE LIBRARIES

Strand makes every effort to provide up to date fixture libraries but as manufacturers regularly launch new fixtures
you may not always have a fixture profile when you need it. We have provided a tool to allow you to create your own
fixture as you require. It is also possible to edit an existing fixture or change the palette libraries to better suit your
needs.
You will need to load the Strand tools onto your PC. The file is called Setup-200-PlusSetup.exe and can be
downloaded from the Strand Lighting website at www.strandlighting.com.
When you open the software you will have the following screen as shown in Figure 83.

1. Creating a New Fixture Library

Note: You will need the fixture's datasheet, user's manual, etc., that has detailed DMX mapping information for the
fixture.
To create a new ML fixture library:
1) Click in the Fixture name field and give your fixture a name. When the fixture name is displayed on the
console it can have a maximum of 11 characters.
2) Enter the number of channels available for the fixture.
3) Enter the maximum pan and tilt information for the fixture.
4) You can now enter the data for each channel.
a. Click on the Channel Name field. Most of the common types of attribute are already named.
b. For instance if the channel is for Pan select Pan , Colour for Colour 1 , Gobo1 for gobo etc.
5) Move to the next column to select HTP or LTP . Dimmers are usually HTP and other attributes are LTP .
6) The final column allows you to set the home value. For a dimmer this is usually 255 . Pan and Tilt are
usually 128 as this will be the center position.
