They include 'Pan/Tilt swap', 'Pan invert' and 'Tilt invert' settings, which you can match to an actual fixture to make sure the fixture reacts as expected.

If not, the fixture will nog generate any output, and you should make sure that the fixture gets a valid license, either by generating a license using the Report View (after loading the show), or by replacing the fixture with a newer version of the fixture type which has a valid license.

The details button can be used to see information on the version of the profile, when it was made, what changes have been made to it and the channels it has.
