The GROUP menu enables you to create groups with xtures and or subxtures. This makes selection of groups or (sub)
xtures easy and allows you to use submasters per group (chapter 8).
TIP: Have you deleted a group by accident? Click the hardware UNDO button at the left side of the display. Have you
clicked UNDO twice by accident? Click REDO to redo. This works for all actions in the software!
TIP: The software can automatically create groups for you. Click AUTO CLASS in the GROUP menu and the software
will automatically create groups per xture-type. Click AUTO MODEL and the software creates groups per model.
SUBFIXTURES
Emulation uses the concept of sub-xtures. This means that some xtures consist of multiple sub-xtures, like a
10-channel dimmer rack is - in our terms - just one xtures with 10 sub-xtures. This also works for LED xtures with
multiple segments/pixels. In this manner the maximum of 48 will not be reached that quickly (you can add 48 x 10
= 480 dimmer channels). The reason behind the concept of sub-xtures is that it makes patching easier; you only
add the physical xtures to your patch and you don’t have to worry about setting starting addresses per dimmer
channel, or worse, per LED segment.
