 Looking into the DMX table the DMX value for each gobo / color / function is normally given in a range.\\
 For instance Channel 3, gobo 2, it is the one named “MOVEMENT 1”, has the value range 8 to 38. The is made with a range, because some controller only have faders to control the fixture and this makes it difficult to set a precise value.\\
-A god DMX value to enter in the gobo table is the middle value.\\

-Here (23+38)/2 = 23 brings the gobo wheel to the middle.\\
+A good DMX value to enter in the gobo table is the middle value.\\
+Example: (23+38)/2 = 23 brings the gobo wheel to the middle.\\
 \\
 The reason for selecting the middle value is that, if it is a wheel then the min and max value may bring the wheel in a position where gobo is not centered totally. The value between 2 gobos may bring the wheel in a position so two half gobos can be seen and this is normally to be avoided.\\

 Enter the first value that has a fixed interval here 8 and the interval here 31 and press “Generate”.\\
 All the gobo values shall now be equal the lower value in the DMX table.\\
-Here it is 8, 39, 70, 101, 132, 163, 194, 225 and it fits.\\
+The results are 8, 39, 70, 101, 132, 163, 194, 225 allowing all values to be placed properly.\\

+The test above was just to check that the interval value was correct.\\
+The wanted DMX values is still the middle value in this example 23.\\
+Then open the Auto generate value popup again and enter the first middle value here 23 and the interval here again 31 and press “Generate”.\\
+The gobo table now has the middle value for all gobos.\\

+Missing is the first value in the gobo table.\\
+Here 0 are chosen but if it is a wheel and it has the capability to make auto shift where the wheel just continuing shift in one direction passing through 0, then the 0 value can be a problem.\\
+\\
+The “Auto generate value” has a “First DMX value” and a “Last DMX value” entry box. This makes it possible to generate almost all gobo tables.\\
+The first and last value is normally the two values that needs special attention because they don’t always fit into the fixed interval.\\

+The next task are to fill in the icons.\\
+For this example AmericanDJ DynastyScan gobos are selected.\\
+Icons is always a critical topic. Sometimes they can be found, sometimes not, sometimes take a snapshot is the fastest solution.\\

+The only selection possibility for icons is the text selecting box in right side of the panel.\\
+To get an overview an alternative tool can be used.\\
+Here ACDSee has been used.\\
+All images are located in Gobo and Color sub folders under the FreeStyler folder.\\
