This is displayed one Fixture at a time and the Up and Down cursor buttons
are used to select the Fixture from the list on the upper part of the Screen.
There are some Fixtures which when patched, may not show up on the lower
part of this Screen.
In order for this Screen to work, the Fixture must have an intensity channel patched
onto one of the Preset Faders on Attribute Bank 1. Generally this will be the case,
however there are some instances when this will not happen.
Some examples are:- A pan and tilt yoke, some colour mix devices which use three
Colour Channels but no Dimmer.
⇒ This Screen has a large processing overhead and should not be viewed
during time critical operations, or during a show unless absolutely
necessary.
