Address behaviours

 

When inserting a fixture block, the fixture address will behave as follow:

 -If all fixtures have the same address in the fixture block, they will have the same address in the scene

Some examples:        

 

-If four PAR were address as 1 when the fixture block was created, when inserted the MSD will find the

next address available. if that address is 54, then all 4 PAR will be address as 54.

 

-If the same fixtures were address as 1,2,3,4, in the same situation the address would then be 54,55,56,57

 

-If the addresses are 10,12,14,16, in the same situation the address would then be 54,56,58,60

 

Fixture ID behaviours

 

ID's behaves in the same way as the addressed.

 

Note: you can use ID with decimal values (Dot ID) such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4

The Dot ID makes it very useful for fixture blocks.
