Name
You can give your fixtures a name that makes it easier for you to remember what they are.
You can tap the small keyboard icon to open the onscreen keyboard or you can use an external keyboard. If you
give it a name and then make a space and add a number then the fixtures will be enumerated from this number, if
you are adding more than one fixture.
The name doesn't have to be unique.
Patch
The fixtures we add need a DMX patch address, for us to be able to control them. The dot2 suggest the first available
address.
You have several options for adjusting this value. If you tap the three white dots in the input field gives you an
drop down that allows you to adjust the universe umber and the DMX address in the selected universe.
You can tap the input field and use the numeric keys to input a DMX address. If you type it in directly, then you need
separate the universe number and DMX address by a dot.
You can also tap the Select... button and open the Select DMX Address.. window. This allows you to select the
universe on the left side of the window and scroll through and select an address in the selected universe on the right
side of the view. You can use the left and right encoders to select the universe and the DMX address. When you have
selected an DMX address, you can tap the Ok button in the upper right corner to confirm you choice.
The patch address needs to be unique. You can't have fixtures that uses the same DMX addresses.
