Fixture objects are controlled from various sources. Cues and Scene send previously stored data to fixtures due system playback. Control of the fixture by the user can be achieved in four main ways.

The fixture group that the control panel accesses is the active fixture group in the client area. Changing this active group also changes the displayed controls.
