+ | ==== Single Fixture ==== | ||
+ | The fixture above has a image the don’t tell what it is used for. As an alternative a fixture the only has one channel can be made but in this case 4 fixtures has to be placed on adjacent channels so the correct no of channels are occupied.\\ | ||

+ | ==== Practical use of the single channel fixture. ==== | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | When single fixture are used combine with a multiple switch pack, it is important to place the single fixtures on adjacent channels and to occupy / reserve all addresses that the switch pack uses.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Here a dummy fixture are placed as fixture 4 as address holder so all 4 addresses are occupied.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | In FreeStyler all 4 single fixtures are placed.\\ | ||
+ | As it can be seen here the fixture images tells more about the than the multipack fixture but are more critical to add where the multipack in one fixture occupy all 4 addresses.\\ | ||
