Fixture Controls
This section of the front panel contains
various controls and displays used in
the control, programming and editing of
moving light fixtures.
• FIXTURE SELECTION BUTTONS
These buttons are used to select
individual or groups of fixtures when
programming, editing or patching.
Each button contains two lights (one
yellow, one red). When a fixture has
been assigned, the yellow light in the
button is lit. When a fixture is selected,
the red light in the button is lit.
• ATTRIBUTE BUTTONS
These 4 buttons (BRIGHTNESS,
COLOUR, BEAMSHAPE, POSITION)
are used to select an attribute for the
selected fixture(s).
This determines the fixture parameters
assigned to the control wheels, and
displayed on the WHEEL LCD.
Only one attribute can be selected at a
time. The red light in the button
indicates the selected attribute.
These buttons are also used when
programming and selecting palettes.
• WHEEL GROUP BUTTON
When the parameters for the current
attribute of the selected fixture(s) are
contained in more than one group, this
button is used to switch between the
different groups of parameters.
The red light in the WHEEL GROUP
button is lit when there is more than
one group of parameters.
When there is only one group of
parameters for the selected fixture and
attribute, the light in the button is off,
and pressing the button has no effect.
