2. Select the fixture "CHAUVET COLORpalette 27 Ch".

3. Leave the orientation as it is. The orientiation of a fixture describes how it is mounted. So for

example, it would be possible to mount this fixture in an angle of 90 degrees. This means that if

we face the the fixture directly, we would see a usage of 2 pixels in x but 4 pixels in y.

4. Enter '5' for "Count X" and '5' for "Count Y".

5. Next, we will set up the "DMX Start Corner". This function describes the point where the first

fixture will ge its DMX signal. For our example we decide to start at the bottom left corner. After

changing the DMX start corner, the little graphic on the right side changes and the small rectangle

which marks the start point appears in the bottom left.

6. Now, we are going to set up the "Main Orientation". It describes in which direction the next

fixture will get the next DMX address. In our example we decide to use the vertical direction.

7. Because of the more simple connection of fixtures, often they are patched in a snake mode,

which means after reaching the top end of the first column, the next fixture will be the top most

of the next column. To use this mode we select the "Snake Mode" checkbox.
