Moving Light Controls
An additional tool for controlling the non-intensity parameters (NPs) of multiple parameter devices
is the ML Controls. The ML Controls is found with the other virtual controls in the browser. Navigate
to Browser>Virtual Controls>ML Controls.
You will need to have a multi-parameter device selected to properly view this display. The display
will change based on the device selected. If you have a device that only has intensity and color
parameters, the ML Control display will only show intensity and color parameters.
