channels each one of them should have.
Fixture Group
A fixture group is, as the name says, a group of fixtures. They also define (in a rather basic level)
the actual physical, real world arrangement of these fixtures. This knowledge can be used for
example in the RGB Matrix to produce a wall of RGB-mixable lights that can act as individual
pixels in a graphic pattern or scrolling text.
Fixture Mode
Many manufacturers design their intelligent lights in such a way that they can be configured to
understand different sets of channels. For example, a scanner might have two configuration
options: one for only 8bit movement channels (1x pan, 1x tilt) and another one for 16bit
movement channels (2x pan, 2x tilt). Instead of creating a completely new fixture definition for
each variation, they have been bundled together in QLC+'s fixture definitions into fixture modes.
Functions
The number of functions is practically unlimited. Functions are used to automate the setting of
values to DMX channels. Each function type has its own way of automating lights.
The function types are:
Scene
Chaser
Sequence
EFX
RGB Matrix
Collection
Show
Audio
Each function can be named and although the name is not used to uniquely identify individual
functions, users are encouraged to name their functions in some systematic and concise way to
help identify each of them. For your own comfort.
As of version 3.3.0, each function has their own speed settings:
Fade In: The time used to fade HTP (in Scenes also LTP) channels to their target value
Fade Out: The time used to fade HTP/intensity channels back to zero
Duration: The duration of the current step (not applicable on Scenes)
Grand Master
The Grand Master is used as the final master slider before values are written to the actual
physical DMX hardware. Usually, the Grand Master affects only Intensity channels, but can be
also changed to have effect on the values of all channels.
The Grand Master has also two Value Modes that control the way how the Grand Master affects
channel values passing through:
Reduce: Affected channels' values are reduced by a percentage set with the Grand Master
slider. For example, Grand Master at 50% will result in all affected channels being reduced
to 50% of their current values.
