The Profile Node System is a means of translating Lightforge's input values into values compatible with whatever lighting fixtures you may be using.

Nodes
A node is a container that executes predefined function on the data passing through it's inputs and outputs (called pins). A node system works by allowing you to feed a flow of information from one node to the next in order to make adjustments to the data flowing through the system.
A simple example of this is to calculate 3 + 6. You can calculate this with the following node setup:
[Value Node @ 3]
\
\
[Add Node]----[Output = 9]
/
/
[Value Node @ 6]
The value of 3 flows from the top value node into the add node. The value of 6 flows from the bottom value node into the add node. The add node does the function Input 1 + Input 2, and the resulting value of 9 flows out the add node.
