-Press A to choose “Fix Patch”.
-The console will read the LED files of each manufacturer from the USB device
-Use “More” or “Back” to select the LED you desire
-Press D to choose “Enter” for confirmation of the selection
The LCD will show you the name and auto patched DMX address for the fixture. If you want to mod-
ify the assignment of the DMX address, you can use FX1-FX10 to change the address. The FX10
means 0 and the FX1-FX9 means 1-9 orderly.
To patch a single fixture, press a desired bump button. To patch a range of fixtures, press and hold
down the bump button for the first fixture in the range, then press the last bump button in the range
