fixture loading, and so on, without actually having the hardware.
The location button opens a window where the position and
orientation of the TrackPod can be viewed or entered. Tip:
normally, the TrackPod's location is determined by an automatic
calibration.
The stagemarks button opens the stagemark inspector for
calibration, see below.
Fixture inspector - View and set the name of a fixture, its visibility,
colour, patch info, position and rotation (which are normally determined
by an automatic calibration). Some functions merit specific description:
The control button opens the fixture control screen. This screen
has all the controls available for the selected fixture(s). Every
parameter can be controlled manually or "locked" so that only
the DMX console can control it. Tip: the fixture control screen is
useful during playback to set or view the parameters of any light.
The screen can also be opened by clicking on the fixture control
button on the main program window.
The calibrate button opens the fixture calibration wizard, which
walks you through the calibration process (see p. 21 for instruc-
tions).
The flip swing point checkbox toggles by 180 degrees the point
at which moving heads' pan motors "swing" when they reach
their limit.
The show beam checkbox toggles whether the lightbeam for the
selected fixture(s) should be visible in the 3D window.
The show target checkbox shows or hides a beam target on the
stagefloor. The target may be moved to any location on the stage
and the beam will follow it. You may shift click or draw a
selection rectangle around many fixture targets to move several
beams at once. Tip: when the targets are visible the system takes
control of the pan and tilt channels of the fixture(s).
Calibration stagemarks inspector - this inspector appears when you
click on the calibration stagemarks (shown in the 3D window as a dotted
line "diamond" with labels T1, T2, T3, T4 and TC) or when you click
