Editing Artist Help:Parameter Flags

Parameter and Effect flags are central to Artist operation and programming.

 As you adjust any of the fixture parameters in the Fixture Control window a flag is set to indicate the change. 

This flag also stops any cue data from reaching the fixture parameter. Thus you can override cues manually.

Whenever you use any program data saving function the data selected for storing are those parameters with the Parameter Flag set.

 If an effect or a chase is running the Effect flag is set and has the function as the Parameter flag.
