profile specifies addressing through a DIP switch. Please refer to the fixtures documentation on how
to set the DMX start address on the fixture itself.
IMPORTANT!
When programming fixtures in LightJockey, the 'programs' and settings such as preset position data
are stored in data files according to the fixtures DMX address. If the DMX address is changed for an
already programmed fixture it will invalidate the programs - changing the DMX address for a fixture will
prompt a warning if the configuration was previously been saved. To change the DMX address for an
already configured/programmed fixture use the copy from fixture function (see below).
When new fixtures are configured re-using a fixture number previously used by another fixture, by
default, the program 'data space' for the new fixture will be cleared and re-initialized when saving the
configuration. To retain data, for example when replacing one fixture with another very similar fixture,
make sure to enable Prompt for clear data for new fixtures in the preferences menu (see clear
fixture data below). If not enabled, programmed data will be cleared without warning when the
configuration is saved.
Calculating addresses
Clicking Calculate address will open a dialog to calculate possible start addresses for the fixtures
selected in the configuration list. The calculation is based on addresses already in use by other
fixtures as well as the number of addresses used by the fixture profiles with the following exceptions:
Patches created with the global patch tool will not be taken into account.
user definable colors scrollers that needs a separate address for the scroller unit The address for
the color scroller is not taken into account, and might be overwritten.
Scanner 1 profiles. If the actual fixture profile takes up less than the 8 of channels used by the
scanner 1 profile, the free channels are not re-used when calculating addressing.

Pan/Tilt options
Only available for fixtures with pan/tilt control. Check to invert control of pan or tilt or swap pan and tilt.
The pan and tilt inverting and swapping is performed by LightJockey just before pan and tilt DMX
values are transmitted to the fixture - setting any of these switches does not affect the contents of
programmed positions.
Intensity control options
Not all options are available for all profiles.
Ignore Blackout - Fixture ignores blackout commands
Ignore Grand Master - Fixture ignores Grand Master settings
Link Strobe/Grand Master - Fixture stops strobing when grand master or group sub master is at 0
Fixture User name
Use for an individual description of the fixture - the user name is used as caption on the fixture icon on
the desktop.
Saving the configuration
Any changes made to the configuration are temporary and will not take effect until the configuration is
saved (click save). Upon saving the modified configuration, LightJockey will check the new
