Creating a New Fixture
New fixtures are created from the fixture editor in the CIA . You can either create a new fixture, or
copy an existing fixture to edit. See Copying aFixture (on page148)
To create a new fixture, press {New}. A new fixture will be added to the fixture list.
Naming a New Fixture
Once the new fixture appears in the list, it is recommended that you name the fixture you are about
to create.
To name afixturein thecreator list:
1. Use the [Page] keys, mouse, or touchscreen to select the new fixture.
2. Press [Label] or tap on the new fixture. You can press [Label] twice to clear the name. The vir-
tual keyboard will open in the CIA.
3. Enter the desired name for the new fixture on the virtual (or attached alphanumeric) key-
board.
4. Press [Enter]. The name will appear in the “Type” column of the fixture list.
Adding Parameters
After naming the fixture, you can specify which parameters the new fixture contains.
Note: For 16b parameters, LDMX or “low-DMX” is the DMX address for the second half
of any 16-bit channel. If used in Coarse/ Fine determination, the DMX channel defines the
“Coarse” adjustment and the LDMX defines the “Fine” adjustment. Do not count 16-bit
parameters as two parameters, this will be done in a later step.
To add parameters to a new fixture:
1. Use the [Page] keys, mouse, or touchscreen to select the new fixture.
2. Select the parameter list by clicking on it or touching it.
3. Determine the total number of parameters that your fixture has. Do not count 16-bit para-
meters as two parameters, this will be done in a later step.
4. Press {New} to add parameter slots. Repeat this step until you have as many slots as are
required by the number determined in step 3.
