Now, use the arrow keys to move to the required column of the
selected fixture and then press the ENTER key.

Aligning Fixtures
The ORB desk is capable of making adjustments to your fixtures to
take into account their rigging position.
Inverting Pan and Tilt
It is possible to invert Pan and Tilt independently for each fixture.
This can be particularly useful if you’ve rigged Front of House
fixtures the opposite way around to those onstage.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Invert P or Invert T
column of the required fixture and then press the ENTER key. Use
the left and right arrow keys to toggle between the values Yes and
No. Select the required value and then press the ENTER key
Now any adjustments you make to the parameter you changed will
be inverted in the DMX outputs, making all your fixtures move in
the same direction relative to the wheels.
Swapping Pan and Tilt
If a fixture is rigged on its side, you may also wish to Swap the Pan
and Tilt parameters. In this function, any values defined for Pan
will be output on the Tilt channel(s), and any values defined for Tilt
will be output on the Pan channel(s).
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the P/T Swap column of
the required fixture and then press the ENTER key. Use the left and
right arrow keys to toggle between the values Yes and No. Select
the required value and then press the ENTER key.
Patch Functions
The Patch functions under Edit Fixtures allow you to patch, repatch
and unpatch selected fixtures. This functionality is provided in
addition to the command line patching detailed elsewhere in this
chapter. Using this window, it is possible to patch a fixture to more
than one DMX address in one or more universes. These additional
patch addresses are known as duplicates.
Select the fixture(s) to be edited. Click on the [Patch] button in the
Edit Fixtures Window.
