color transparent.
Fixture icon using default bitmap
Icon caption
Use the Icon caption field to specify the default caption on the fixture icon. Note that the caption for
configured fixtures may be still be modified by changing the fixtures user name in the fixture
configuration.
Fixture ID (IMPORTANT)
Since all fixtures configured as generic fixture type 2 are considered identical by LightJockey
regardless of the actual profile, the fixture ID has been implemented to distinguish between different
'flavors' of profiles. While the cross fixture compatibility is designed to let certain effects be compatible
across fixture types, specific DMX values for effects such as color and gobo does normally not make
sense when applied to different types of fixtures. When applying values to non-compatible effects,
LightJockey uses the Fixture ID to distinguish between the different flavors of user profiles - for
example values for example colors will only be applied to selected fixtures if the master and slave
fixtures have identical fixture IDs. When applying the ID it is usually a good idea to select a name that
uniquely identifies the fixture type, e.g. "Roboscan 2000".
Addressing DIP Switch
If the fixture uses a standard DIP switch addressing scheme, enable the Adr-DIP switch to show the
address setting in the fixture configuration. It is possible to add a constant to the DIP switch setting to
offset the DIP switch by a constant value, for example -1 to set DMX address 1 = all DIPs off, or 512
to always set DIP switch 10 on.
Profile notes
Use the notes to pass usable information to other users. Notes should include details about specific
fixture settings or missing functions or features.
Hint: cut and paste from a word processor like Microsoft Word enables the use of features such as
different colors or text sizes and use of attributes such as bold or italics.
