Advanced Patch Functions

This chapter covers patch window functions – such as fixture renumbering, paths, etc – not covered in the
Getting Started Chapter.

Different Patch Views

In addition to the first DMX address for each fixture, there are two other views that show patch
information. Pressing View opens a window with 3 options: Fixtures, Outputs, and Channels. The
default window shown above is the Outputs view. Select a type of view in the drop down menu to change
the display to another output view.
The Fixtures view lists all of the fixtures selected on the console along with their alignment and patch
location(s). For example, the "[1] 400" shown for VL6 #1 indicates that it is patched to address 400 on
output 1. This information is useful when a fixture is patched to multiple locations.
The channels view shows the patch location for every parameter of every fixture.

Fixture Editing Spreadsheet

This allows you to edit a fixture's user number, default and highlight value, colour and gobo names,
intensity profile and tilt offset directly from this window.
Opening the spreadsheet will display all fixtures belonging to the currently active type. You can use the
Group button to move through each type in the schedule. Columns are displayed relating to user number,
intensity profile, tilt offset (if relevant) and all slotted parameters which have labels that may be edited (eg,
gobo and colour wheels). You may select a range of cells by holding Pig and cursoring down or clicking
the endpoint of the range. Alternatively, selecting the All row selects all the fixtures of the current type.
