value for the attribute you are changing. You must always press “enter” to record the changes you make to

each attribute. The message “DONE” will appear in the display when the change has been recorded. The

fixture attributes are described in the following paragraphs.

NAME is the fixture name that appears whenever you select or deselect a fixture. You may want to modify

this attribute on all of your fixtures to show fixture purpose or location. You must place the underline

cursor on the character you want to edit or you can use an external keyboard to enter the fixture name.

CHANNELS is the total number of channels for the fixture. This can be any number from 1 to 32. When

you change the number of channels be aware that other things such as fixture addresses and number of

multi fixtures can be automatically changed if you drastically change the number of channels for a fixture

that has already been set up and is in use. Fixture attributes such as black channel, pan or tilt will also be

automatically disabled if you select a number that is smaller than the channel numbers that are already

assigned to those attributes. For example if you already assigned pan to channel 8 and you reduce the total

number of channels for the fixture to 4, pan will automatically be set to “none”. Likewise if you increase

the number of channels from 8 to 9 and you had previously set up 4 multi fixtures using all 32 channels,

the multi fixture setting will automatically be reset back to 1.

BLACK CHANNEL is the channel that will be affected when the “black” switch is pressed. You can

choose any available fixture channel as well as “ALL” which will force all channels to the selected black

value.

BLACK VALUE is the DMX value that will be sent to the selected black channel(s). This will

accommodate fixtures that use the gobo wheel for blackout and that use a value other than 0 to set the

gobo wheel to black. You may also want to blackout all channels to a value other than 0 since this is used

as a reset by some fixtures. For some fixtures a value of 1 achieves the same result as a value of 0 for

blackout.

PAN CHANNEL is the channel used by the fixture for pan. This can also be set to “none” if the fixture

does not have a pan feature. This is also the pan coarse channel or pan high byte channel for those fixtures

that use two channels to control pan. This directs the joystick output as well as other pan functions such as

factory chases.

PAN FINE is for fixtures that use two channels to control pan. This is also referred to sometimes as the

pan “low byte” channel. Set this to “none” if the fixture uses only one channel for pan. The joystick will

control this channel with “fine” mode turned on.

TILT CHANNEL is the same as described above for pan channel except that it controls tilt.

TILT FINE is the same as described above for pan fine except that it controls tilt.

FADE MODE is used to set the crossfade method for each of the fixture’s channels. Use the + and -

switches or data wheel #2 to select the channel desired. Once the channel is selected move the cursor to

the value or use data wheel #3 to select the crossfade mode. The choices are “crossfade”, “snap before

fade” and “snap after fade”. You must press “enter” after each channel has been programmed.

“Crossfade” will cause a channel to smoothly fade from one scene to another when changing scenes. The

crossfade time will vary from scene to scene depending on how that scene was programmed. Use this
