+==== 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.\\

+==== Macro Panel ====
+\\
+In FreeStyler only a simple on / off icons are present.\\
+\\
+{{:fixture_creator:tutorial:switchpack_fs_macro_single_panel.gif?|}}\\
+\\
+==== 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.\\
+\\
+{{:fixture_creator:tutorial:switchpack_fs_addresses.gif?|}}\\
+\\
+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.\\
