Save in library
From the context specic menu, press the Save button. If the xture had already been saved, it will be
simply overwritten. If it is being saved for the rst time a window will open automatically, as in the Li-
brary manager, to allow navigating the brands available on the internal disk or on the USB drive. When a
brand is selected, the digital keyboards will appear, asking to type in a name for the xture.
The programme always veries the data inserted, and if an inconsistency is identied, it will display a
diagnostic message. The message can contain two kinds of notication: a warning or an error. Warning
notications signal an unusual yet valid situation (e.g. not all DMX channels are occupied by a param-
eter). The user can decide whether to cancel the command and properly edit the xture or to go on
saving. Error warnings signify invalid situations and must be corrected before saving (e.g. two features
sharing the same internal patch).
Editing a fixture already included in the library
IMPORTANT: editing a library le does not aect in any way the current show nor the shows previously saved
on disk, as for each show its data is saved in the xture information.
It is often necessary to edit an existing xture, or it can be easier to create a new xture basing on an
existing one rather than starting from scratch. From the context specic menu, press Open: a window
will appear, allowing to navigate the brands available on the internal disk or on the USB drive. As in the
Library manager, a le can be selected and displayed or edited.
Pressing the Edit DMX Ch button from the context specic menu allows to change the number of chan-
nels taken up by the xture. All other data concerning the xture is directly available for display and
editing in the Parameters, Commands and Palettes windows.
After editing as needed, the older xture version on the disk can be overwritten by pressing the Save
button in the context specic menu. To save the xture under a new name and/or with another brand,
select Save As.
IMPORTANT: fxr les (recognisable from the "*" character at the end of their name) can be read but cannot be
written, and therefore cannot be edited. It is possible, though, to open an fxr le and then save it as an fdf le.
