 ====== Fixture Creator - Movement configuration ======
+\\
+The minimum definition of the Movement is only the Pan 8bit channel.\\
+This can be used when a fixture only have one direction to move for example the mirror.\\
+The American DJ tripleflex is an example on this. See: [[fixture_creator:tutorial:center_effect|]]\\
+If only Pan is configurated then Tilt is still present in the movement panel but it don’t have any control effect.\\
+\\
+To control the movement 8 or 16 bits are used depending on the fixture.\\
+Many scanners only need 8 bit because of the relative limited movement.\\
+\\
+{{:images:fixture_configuration_movement_8bit.gif|}}\\
+\\
+Moving heads can normally be adjusted more than 360 deg. and to get a smooth movement control this offend require 16bit for the Pan channel and 16 bit for the Tilt Channel.\\
+It is only possible to transmit 8bits in one channel so to transmit 16 bits two channel are required but this are stated in the fixture.\\
+\\
+As it can be seen bellow the course part of the control goes into the 8 bit channel and the fine part of the control goes into the 16bit past.\\

+\\
+NOTE:\\
+It is important to set the default value for the movement control. If nothing is mentioned in the manual for the fixture then the middle value is used, 128.\\
+The default value is the position / direction the fixture points into on start up. If the value 0 is used the fixture will point into one side.\\
+See: [[fixture_creator:channel_description|]]
+\\
+An extra parameter is Range. This is the max movement in deg.\\
+This parameter is not a requirement.\\
+\\
+Here the fixture has a Pan Range of 540 deg and a Tilt Range of 267 deg.\\

+\\
+This parameter is used by the ”Flip” function in the Moving control panel.\\
+For the "Flip" to work correct it requires that the pan movement is larger than 360 deg.\\
+This actually means that it is only actual for moving heads.\\
+If this parameter isn't set then default values will be used.\\
+Default is Pan = 540 and Tilt = 270.\\
