Fixture selection
LightShark assigns an ID to each of the patched fixtures, so it can be selected in 3
different ways:
1-Group Window: LightShark will automatically create Auto-Groups for each of
the fixtures added to the patch. This way the user will find the different fixture
types grouped by model. Auto-Groups cannot be deleted. The user may also
create customized groups.
2-Fixture Window: all the fixtures added to the show are shown in this window.
Each selection box includes 3 fields:
Fixture description tag
DMX address
Fixture ID
3-Numeric Keypad: it is possible to select the fixtures using the numeric
keypad. This is the syntax:
-Select fixtures from 1 to 8:
1 THRU 8 OK
-Select fixtures 1 and 8:
1 + 8 OK
-Select fixtures from 1 to 5 and 8:
1 THRU 5 + 8 OK
-Select fixtures from 1 to 5 except 3:
1 THRU 5 - 3 OK
-Select fixtures from 1 to 3 and from 6 to 8:
