changes. The dimmer patching window is the only place in NEO where you specifically need to save your work. In
all other windows the changes are automatically saved with every change.
Dimmer Patch Window
NEO NOTES & TIPS: You will notice that dimmer 6 is now "unpatched". This is because channel 6 that use to be
patched to dimmer 6 is now holding the Mac 250 we have just patched. Also channels 26 thought to 43 are now blank
and do not contain any patch information. This is because the dimmers that where patched to these channels are now
in use by the Mac 250 that we just patched. NEO will allow you to overlap patch information but by default it will
assume this undesirable and automatically unpatch the channels for you.
We are now ready to use this fixture in the channel window as desk channel 6. To patch other moving lights, simply
repeat the procedure above patching each light into the desired channel.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: You can patch multiple fixtures of the same type all at once by changing the quantity (Qty)
number in the available fixtures section of the window.
