This is an old revision of the document!
This page shows what the “channel description” tap in the Fixture Creator is for, and how they work.
Locate: in FreeStyler Location screen, right click on one fixture, and click “Locate Selected Fixtures”, FreeStyler will send the dmx value that you have put in the “Locate” Column of this page, to the actual light. This is useful when you have a lot of lights set up, and you want to know where the ACTUAL light is located. In the above sreenshot I set the dmx value to RGB ON, so that when I locate it from FreeStyler the ACTUAL light will be RGB ON, and I know where it is. This way I know I know which light I am dealing with right now.
Default Value: This column shows what dmx values will be carried by fixtures when they are first added to Freestyler's Location. Normally they are set to “0”, as by default we normally want them to be OFF before we start to program a scene.
