Fixture extended/level control
Enabled status By default, the generic fixture has all 32 DMX control channels enabled and visible in
the level control. LightJockey uses the status of each of the channels to determine if the fixture has a
valid control for that particular offset, so by default all 32 channels are available for control from the
level control.
If a control channel is disabled, LightJockey will not send any values to that offset. Normally a fixture
profile will use much less than the default 32 DMX channels. To disable the unused channels high-
light the line(s) and click Disable, or click Disable All and then apply the profile (which will re-enable
all channels used by the profile). Before saving the profile it is a good idea to verify that the last offsets
enabled matches the total DMX channels used by the fixtures DMX protocol.
Visible status
The 'visible' status of each offset determines if that particular control channel has a corresponding
'fader' in the level control.
When applying a profile to a fixture, LightJockey will automatically evaluate all dynamic and static
functions and enable channel control for the offsets used in the various functions. To avoid having
control channels allocated to named functions (for example Intensity) show up in level control,
LightJockey also sets the visible status to off. To change the visibility of the individual offsets in the
fixtures level control, high-light the line(s) and click Visible or Invisible.
To assign one or more channels to level control, high-light the offset line(s) and click Enable or
Visible if the offset is already enabled.
Level caption
Add a caption to each offset line that identifies the function of the individual level controls. The caption
is used to identify the channel on the level control as well as the control channel function in for
example the global patch or generic DMX macro dialogs.

The Offline Visualizer tab
In order to make a fixture appear in the Offline Visualizer,an Offline Visualizer profile for the particular
fixture must be linked to the LightJockey fixture profile (LightJockey and Offline Visualizer profiles are
two different things) - use the Offline Visualizer tab to link the profile. Note that the Offline Visualizer
must be running to create the link.
