Working with fixtures

Following are some principles to keep in mind when setting fixture attribute levels. • If a fixture has a strobe attribute, that attribute must be set above zero so that the light can be seen. • The intensity attribute is selected by default unless you select an attribute. Use this as a shortcut method to set fixture intensities. For example, set the intensity of three moving lights on stage by pressing [Stage] [S8], Fixture, [1] [thru] [3] [Full]. • If you wish, you can assign attribute levels without using the Fixture

Box. For instance, if a fixture is patched to channels 1 through 20, you can set the levels of channels 7 and 8 as follows: press [Stage] [Channel] [7] [And] [8] [At] [5] [Enter]. • If you are working with fixtures directly but don’t want the Fixture Box on the screen, press [Clear] to remove it. The encoders remain active when the Fixture Box is cleared. You can clear away the Fixture Box even in the midst of a lengthy command sequence without altering the results. For instance, set the intensity of fixtures 1 through 3 to full and clear away the Fixture Box in one command sequence as follows: press [Blind] [S8], Fixture, [1] [thru] [3] [Clear] [Full].
