Click on the fixture name to open the details in the right hand
window. This shows all the personalities available for that fixture
type (if you have entered the console type on the top left, only
personalities for that console will be displayed).
If the personality is included in the standard library (cache) then the
column will be ticked.
If there is a personality listed for your fixture, download it by clicking
on the Disk icon. This will download a copy of the complete
personality library.
13.1.2 Updating the personality library on the console
Download the current Titan personality library by clicking on the disk
icon in the Cache column for any fixture. Alternatively you can get
this file by clicking on the Download link at the top of the screen,
then clicking on the link for your console.
Updating will overwrite any custom personalities you
have stored in the library. To avoid this, store your
custom personalities in the user personalities folder (see
next section for details).
To update use the following procedure:
1> Copy the downloaded file PearlExpertFixtureLibrary.exe onto a
USB pen drive and plug in to the console.
2> Click the 'Tools' menu on the toolbar, then the folder icon on
the menu.
3> Locate the downloaded file on the USB drive and double click on
it to run it. Click 'Ok' on the warning box.
4> Shut down and then restart the console (using the Restart
Software button on the screen Tools menu is OK).
• The console caches the FixtureLibrary folder into memory when
the Patch option is first used. You therefore need to restart the
console to ensure new fixture personalities are loaded
(restarting the console application is sufficient).
• Once a fixture is patched, its personality is embedded in the
show file. Any changes to the fixture library will not affect
fixtures patched in the show. You can use the [Update
Personality] option in the patch menu to update patched
fixtures if you need to.
13.1.3 User/custom personalities
Using the Personality Builder application installed with the console
software, you can create your own personality if you wish to modify
the behaviour of a standard personality or you have a fixture the
console has never heard of and need to get it working quickly.
