There is an additional column (Part) which shows the part name of
the multi-part fixture and a [Fixture Part] button that selects which
part of the fixture is displayed on the screen (eg All Parts, Lamp,
Scroll).

DMX In Field
It is possible to assign a DMX-In address to any fixture on ORB.
The DMX-In field in the patch table shows the DMX In address
which is currently assigned to the fixture.
The DMX In channel is used to control the brightness (intensity)
parameter of the fixture, and is mixed LTP with the level on the
desk so you can grab and alter the level of a channel in such a way
as you would expect on a generic fader based desk.
Clicking on an entry in the DMX In column allows you to change the
DMX In address assigned to the corresponding fixture.

Changing Fixture Type (Fixture Swapout)
This patch function allows you to swap one fixture type for another.
This function allows for a complete swap-out of fixtures from one
type to another. The desk will attempt to clone the programmed
data for the swapped fixture(s) in Cues, UDKs, Submasters and
Palettes as far as possible.
Parameters in the new fixture type that were not present in the
original fixture type are left unprogrammed.
Select the fixture(s) to be changed. Go to the [Type] column in the
window.
Select the [Change] button for the required fixture or the [Change]
button in the ALL row to change the type of all the selected fixtures.
Select the Manufacturer, Fixture Type and Mode (if applicable) using
the popup window on the monitor and confirm the change type
operation.
