Patching Fixtures

Before you start programming Fixtures, you need to select and add Fixtures to the Fixtures Patch.
The Fixtures Patch is opened by pressing [MENU] [04] or [FIXTURE] [FIXTURE] and is divided
into 3 areas: Cache, Fixture Definition, and Patch.
The Cache area shows a list of Fixtures that you can use in the Patch. The Cache holds 24 types of
Fixtures. If the type of Fixture you need is not in the Cache, you can load a new Fixture into the Cache
from the Fixture Library located on the Hard Disk, or via a Floppy / USB disk (see
Fixture to the Cache
The Fixture Definition area shows detailed information about the Fixture that is currently selected in
the Cache or Patch.
The Patch area shows the patched Fixtures and their DMX addresses, Fixture Trackball Pan and Tilt
Direction, and if the Fixture's intensity is controlled from an external dimmer.
Universe 2 is the console default when patching Fixtures while Universe 1 is the default for Channels.
To start patching Fixtures in another Universe, for example, Address 1 in Universe 3, enter 1.3 in the
DMX address cell (the first digit represents the address, the second digit represents the universe).
An Overwrite Patch warning will appear in cases where the Fixture or Channel being patched will
overwrite another Fixture or Channel that is already patched. Press [ENTER] to continue or [C]
to cancel.
