Fixture Creator - ETC ION Operation Manual

Fixture Creator

Ion provides you with the ability to create your own fixture type within patch and store it with your
show file. You can name the fixture, assign all necessary parameters, define the address and
operational range of those parameters, and set lamp controls.
The fixture creator is accessible from patch. Once a fixture has been created, it is stored in the
show file. It is not added to the fixture library.
To open the fixture creator:
Step 1: Press [Displays]>{Patch} to open the patch display. Or you may open it from the
browser.
Step 2: Select any channel (it need not be the channel for the fixture you are creating, but it
can be) from the keypad.
Step 3: Click {Type} in the CIA patch display. The left side softkeys will change to offer fixture
type options.
Step 4: Click {User}. This will display buttons for all currently patched fixtures in the CIA.
Step 5: Click {Edit}. This will open a list displaying those same fixtures that are currently
patched. This is the fixture creator.
