Configuring the Fixture

This chapter explains how to configure your fixture for operation by selecting a control
method and assigning a fixture address (either a DMX start channel or fixture
number).
Configuring your fixture requires you to access the fixture's menu system via the
alphanumeric LED display and four menu navigation buttons on the fixture's front
panel (see Figure 2-1). For a detailed description of the menu system, see "Chapter 4
Understanding the Menu System" on page 4-1.

Fixture Types

Each fixture type (either Studio Spot 250 or Studio Color 250) uses a fixture-specific
protocol which determines the number of DMX channels the fixture will use. Your
fixture is shipped from the factory set to the correct fixture type. However, if the
fixture's logic board is ever replaced, you must ensure the new board is set to the
correct fixture type (see "Setting the Fixture Type (TYPE)" on page 4-25).
Available fixture types and the number of DMX channels used per fixture are listed
below:
• SPOT - for use with Studio Spot 250 fixtures only. This protocol uses 18 DMX
channels per fixture.
• COLR - for use with Studio Color 250 fixtures only. This protocol uses 15 DMX
channels per fixture.
