Description

Selecting Fixtures

The Fixture command selects one or more DMX fixtures in the currently active playback fader. A DMX fixture is a group of one or more control channels patched to represent the operation of a single controllable lighting fixture. Use the Fixture command to select fixtures. Once one or more fixtures are selected, use action commands such as At, On, Off, Enable, Disable, Park, Unpark or Release to set the fixtures’ intensity level, change the enable or parked state of the fixtures’ channels, or release them.

Either a single fixture number can be specified, or a range of fixtures can be specified using the various selection operators like +, -, > and ~.

The wildcard character * can be used as the fixture number to mean all fixtures in the active playback fader.

Deselecting All Fixtures

Using either Fixture Clear or Fixture ; will deselect all fixtures while leaving “Fixture” as the current command target.

Determining Which Channels Are Selected

The question mark ? can be used to ask what the current channel selection is. A selection string will be returned, which will consist of a single number (like 3) or a range (like 5>7+9), or if no channels are selected, 0 will be returned.

Examples

Fixture 1
Selects fixture 1. Future action commands will be directed towards fixture 1.

Fixture 1>5 At 33
Sets the intensity channel(s) of fixtures 1 through 5 to 33%.

Fixture 1>3+5>8 On
Sets the intensity channel(a) of fixtures 1 through 3 and 5 through 8 to 100%.

@Fixture 2+5 Park
Parks all of the channels of fixtures 2 and 5.

Fixture 100

Fixture ?
Returns the current selection of channels for the selection of fixtures in the format of a single number like 3, or a range like 5>7+9.
