Patch Functions
The Patch functions under Edit Fixtures allow you to patch, repatch and unpatch selected
fixtures. It is also possible to patch a fixture to more than one DMX address in one or
more universes. These additional patch addresses are known as duplicates
.
Select the fixture(s) to be edited. Click on the [Patch] button in the Edit Fixtures Window.
The patch table shows the DMX-In assignment (if assigned) and the DMX address(es) that
each of the selected fixtures are currently patched to. If a fixture has not yet been patched
to the DMX output then the corresponding DMX column will show ‘Add’. In the example
above – Fixture numbers 101 to 105 are patched to DMX universe 2 address 1, 13, 25, 37
and 49 respectively.
Patching Fixtures
Move the cursor to the DMX column for the required fixture and press the ENTER key. A
Patch Fixture(s) popup window is displayed on the monitor screen, for example:
Select the required Universe by clicking on the [Universe] button and selecting the
universe from the drop down menu.
Enter the required DMX address in the Address field provided or press the [Next Address]
button to automatically pick up the next available patch address in the selected universe.
Press the [OK] button to complete the patching operation or the [Cancel] button to cancel.
