Controlling Fixture Parameters
Each fixture type has it’s own set of parameters (intensity, colour,
gobo, pan, tilt etc.) which are classified or grouped together in
different attributes (Position, Colour, Beam). This information is
defined in the fixture library.
Once a fixture, or group of fixtures has been selected, the attribute
buttons and control wheels can be used to adjust the parameter
output levels as required.

If the fixture has more than three controllable parameters for the
selected attribute, pressing the COLOUR key again will select the
next group of parameters.
Wherever possible the desk will group similar parameters together
