8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until you have entered all of the required parameters for the new fix-

If you are missing a parameter slot: At any point you can use the [Page] keys and {Insert}, to insert a
parameter slot above the selected one.
If you want to remove a parameter: you can use the [Page] keys and {Delete}, to remove a parameter

Define Parameters
Once you have added and specified all of the parameters for the new fixture, you can now define the
address requirements, size, and ranges for each of them.
To define the size (8-bit or 16-bit), DMX address, and LDMX address of any parameter:
You can alter the default DMX address assigned to any parameter in the list. This is not the actual
address that will be used when patched, but rather it is the order of address for the parameter rel-
ative to the other parameters in the fixture.
LDMX or "low-DMX" is the DMX address for the second half of any 16-bit channel. If used in
Coarse/ Fine determination, the DMX channel defines the "Coarse" adjustment and the LDMX
defines the "Fine" adjustment.
1. Use the [Page] keys to navigate to any parameter that you wish to alter the size of. The system
defaults to 8-bit for any new parameter.
2. When selected, press {Size}. This will toggle the parameter from 8-bit to 16-bit. If 16-bit is
selected, the system automatically displays a LDMX option. This value can be altered.
3. Enter the desired address for the DMX and/ or LDMX addresses using the keypad.
To alter the Home settings for any parameter:
You can define the value for any parameter's "home" value.
1. Click on the "Home" column of the desired parameter.
2. Enter the desired home value (0 through 255 for 8-bit, and 0 through 65535 for 16-bit) using
the keypad.
To enable the Snap setting for parameters:
You can enable snap for parameters to exempt them from cue timing, so they snap to their new
value. For more information about snap, see
1. Use the [Page] keys to navigate to the "Snap" column of the desired parameter.
2. Click in the 'Snap" column for the selected parameter to enable.
