Product manual

Add/Edit Fixtures
The same dialog (with slight differences) is used for both adding new and editing the properties
of existing Fixtures.
NOTE: When editing an existing fixture, you can always choose a completely different fixture
type to replace the previous one, but if their channels don't match each other exactly, any Scene
functions you may have created, will very probably do things that you don't want. Also, if the
channel counts don't match, you might end up having fixtures with overlapping channels, which
also results in unwanted behaviour. RGB Matrix, EFX, Chaser and Collection functions remain
unaffected since they don't directly address specific channels, but are more dynamic in nature.
Controls
Fixture
Model list
Shows you a list of available fixture definitions and their general types. If you
don't see your favourite fixture definition on the list, you can create one yourself
with the accompanying, easy to use QLC+ Fixture Editor. Since QLC+ is
completely free software, please consider sharing the definition files with the
community at https://sourceforge.net/p/qlcplus/discussion/fixtures/
Fixture
Properties
Name: The friendly name you wish to assign to the fixture
Mode: The mode you have configured for the fixture
Universe: The DMX universe that the newly-added fixture(s) are connected
to
Address: The address of the (first) fixture you are adding. If you are adding
multiple fixtures, each consecutive fixture will be assigned an address
immediately after the previous fixture's channels, unless the address gap
(see below) is non-zero.
Channels: If you have selected the Generic dimmer device, you can define
its channel count in this field. Otherwise this field is read-only and it just
tells you how many channels the currently selected fixture needs in its
currently selected mode.
Channel list: This field displays a more detailed list of individual channels
for the currently selected fixture and its mode. For Generic dimmers, this
field remains empty since all dimmer channels are treated as dummy
intensity channels.
Multiple
Fixtures
You can also add more than one fixture at the same time if your setup consists of
multiple fixtures that are of the same make and model. These features are
disabled when you are editing an existing fixture.
Amount: The number of new fixtures to create. Each newly-added fixture
also includes a number after its assigned name when you add more than
one fixture at a time.
Address gap: Leave this many empty channels between each new fixture
