Artist Help:Fixture Control
Fixtures are controlled from the Fixture Control panel. This is a tabbed dialog window containing dialogs pertaining to the following features.
| Parameters | This dialog contains the controls defined in the fixture. There is a control for each of the fixture's parameters. |
| Fanning | This is a tool for graduating parameter values across selected fixtures within a group. |
| Chases | This dialog provides the tools for creating chase patterns across fixtures. |
| Effects | This dialog creates effects particular to the parameter type. |
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.
