INSTALL FIXTURE PROFILES
Fixture profiles are small files that are available from elationlighting.com that contain detailed information
about a lighting fixture such as the name and function of each of the channels as well as the name and
DMX values of steps within a channel. Once loaded, a profile can be selected from the fixture list when
choosing fixtures. Fixture profiles are helpful when using the data wheels to program moving light fixture
channels. The display will be able to show the function and current setting for each channel. The wheels
will be able to select from preprogrammed steps within a channel such as the colors on a color wheel.
Fixture profiles also contain “factory presets” which allow you to select colors, gobos or effects using the
number switches instead of the channel wheels or the faders.
To load a fixture profile using the compact flash drive, first insert a card that contains the fixture profile on
it then go to the menu function “Load fixture profile from CF” and press “enter”. The message “Select
fixture file, then press enter” will appear on the top line of the display, the bottom line of the display will
show the first fixture profile found on the disk. Use the + or – switch or data wheel 1 to select a profile (if
there is more that one profile on the disk) then press “enter”. The profile will be loaded into memory and
can then be selected using the “choose fixtures” menu. Up to 256 fixture profiles can be loaded into
memory.
NOTE: Fixture profile file names end with the file extension .sdf.
