 The **Locate** field is used to set a value for this channel to be sent to the fixture when you are in FreeStyler and you right click on the fixture and the select **Locate selected fixtures**, this makes it easier to identify where in the real world they are "located". I have set the "intensity" to 128 or 50% so it will not be to bright but will be enough to see it clearly.\\   The **Locate** field is used to set a value for this channel to be sent to the fixture when you are in FreeStyler and you right click on the fixture and the select **Locate selected fixtures**, this makes it easier to identify where in the real world they are "located".

 The **default** field is used to set a value that will be used by FreeStyler when we first start to program them, normally 0 (zero) but for example on a moving head or scanner you might want to set the pan/tilt to 128, which would be a centre position.\\   The **default** field is used to set a value that will be used by FreeStyler when we first start to program them, normally 0 (zero) but for example on a moving head or scanner you might want to set the pan/tilt to 128, which would be a centre position.\\

 As mentioned above there are problems in creating multi channel versions of Par Cans or Dimmer Packs.

-Multi-channel Par Cans and Dimmer Packs will not actually have available the "**Lamp**" panel in FreeStyler. So you will only have control of the channels using the sliders at the right edge of the screen. The **Blackout** button and **Mater Intensity** control still work.\\  +Multi-channel Par Cans and Dimmer Packs will not actually have available the "**Lamp**" panel in FreeStyler.

 Possibly the most sensible way would be to patch a single channel fixture profile for each of the fixtures that are connected to the dimmer pack channels rather than a multi-channel fixtures, but that does depend on your screen "real-estate" and how many fixtures you are trying to control. Trying different ways will tell you the most efficient way for you to work and control the fixtures. Possibly the most sensible way would be to patch a single channel fixture profile for each of the fixtures that are connected to the dimmer pack channels rather than a multi-channel fixtures, but that does depend on your screen "real-estate" and how many fixtures you are trying to control.
