Once all changes have been made, press the [OK] key to return to
the Patch screen.
If you make a mistake in Edit Fixtures, or simply wish to revert to
the original values from the fixture library then press the [Reset All]
key. If you wish to cancel all editing of the fixtures, press the
[Cancel] key.
Fixture Numbers
Each fixture on the desk has its own fixture number, which is the
number it will be referred to during programming and on-screen.
Initially, these fixture numbers are set to increase sequentially
starting from 1 within the their type, eg Dimmers 1 - 48, MAC 700s
1 - 20, MAC 2000s 1 - 20, etc. If you have used the Patch Wizard
then you will have already altered these numbers as part of the
process. If, however, you have used Add Fixtures then you can
alter these numbers if required.
It is recommended that you take some time thinking about
numbering your fixtures. It is useful to renumber your fixtures to
something logical and unique, as this will be how each fixture will
then be referenced during programming and playback. A fairly
common numbering system is to prefix each fixture type with a
unique number, so for example:
Dimmers 1 - 48 remain as fixture numbers 1 – 48.
MAC 700‟s 1 - 20 become fixture numbers 701 – 720.
MAC 2000‟s 1 - 20 become fixture numbers 201 – 220.
To renumber a complete group of fixtures, the ALL row can be used.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the ALL row and No
column and then press the ENTER key. Enter the fixture number for
the first fixture in the group and press ENTER.
Example: Select the MAC 700 group and enter 501 in the ALL row
and No column. The MAC 700 fixtures will be renumbered 701, 702,
703 etc.
