*TIPS1: Select menu item by Cursor Key, modify contents by  Cursor Key or A/B Wheel;
*TIPS2: When the “？” appears next to the DMX addr, it means this DMX addr overlaps with other
fixture’s (The indicator of corresponding Fixture Numeric Key will flash slowly), the fixture
can’t be controlled unless a correct DMX addr is reassigned.
*TIPS3: When the indicator of Fixture Numeric Key flashes fast, it means this fixture is selected.
When the indicator flashes slowly, it means the DMX addr of this fixture is not correct.
Skills of Fixture patch:
Copy
In FixPatch menu, the settings of a fixture can be copied to other fixtures by COPY Key,
the DMX addr will be automatically assigned sequentially. For example, to copy the
settings of fixture No.1 to No.2~10, the operation is as follows:
--- Press and hold COPY Press Fixture Numeric Key 1 (source)
Sequentially press Fixture Numeric Key 2~10 (target)
Delete
In FixPatch menu, the settings of a fixture can be deleted by DEL Fix Soft Key.
Or by DELETE Key to delete settings of multiple fixtures, operation:
--- Press and hold DELETE
Sequentially press Fixture Numeric Key (to delete multiple fixtures)
Check
--- Press and hold certain Fixture Page Key, if the indicators of certain Fixture Numeric
Keys are bright, it means the fixtures in that page is already patched.
Modify DMX addr
Selected fixtures with overlapping DMX addr can be reassigned a correct DMX addr by
Corre-Err Soft Key;
Automatically assign DMX addr
Press and hold Corre-Err Soft Key for 2 seconds to run AlignFix. The console will
automatically reassign DMX addr to all the fixtures from addr 001.
Fixture Channel Test
There are 2 libraries (CH20/CH40) in the console, which correspond to the fixtures of 20
or 40 channels. The sequence of the channels corresponds to the Attribute Faders’, for
convenience to test fixture channels without custom library.
