Notice the softkeys {Show}, {Manfctr}, and {Search} located beneath the CIA.
{Show} provides you with the option of showing only the library of fixtures or devices that are
already patched in the show, your favorites, and default devices. {Manfctr} shows all fixtures
or devices available in the library sorted by manufacturer.
Press {Manfctr} from the CIA to display the fixture library. The two columns on the left are
pageable and show manufacturer names. Use the arrow buttons to scroll the list of
manufacturers. Selecting a manufacturer repaints the device columns with all devices from
that manufacturer that are available for patching.
Scroll through the device list and make your selection. If a fixture has multiple modes or types,
it will display in blue text. Clicking on its name will open a list of available modes. After the
selection is made, the fixture or device type will be placed on the command line after the
channel number and displayed in the box beneath the {Type} button.
Press {Search} to open the search window. You will need an external alphanumeric keyboard
or you can click the keyboard icon in the search window to open the virtual keyboard. You can
also navigate the list as you would the browser. You can search by manufacturer name, fixture
name, part of a name, and by DMX footprint. For example, if you searched for 31, you would
see all of the fixtures that have a DMX footprint of 31. Double clicking on a fixture name will
patch it.
In the search window, press {Parameters} to view a parameter list for a fixture, or press
{Fixture Notes} to see any notes that exist for it. You can also view this information in the
Fixture Editor.
Press [At] and then enter a starting address for the selected channel or group of channels. The
console will automatically offset addresses based on the fixture type selected.
Fixtures can be added to your show list without first patching them. With nothing on the
command line, click {Type}. You can then select a device type from the fixture library, and click
{Add Show} to add to your show list. If you want to delete a fixture or device from the show
list, click {Edit} while in the show display. Select the device you wish to remove and click
{Delete}.
To select a device interface (optional), click {Interface}. See
Output Protocols (on page 555)
