Fixture Dialog
The Fixture Dialog is used to patch lighting fixtures to channels and give you the ability to control them.

Profiles
A profile is a system used to convert the information that you input into Lightforge into something that you lighting fixtures can process. There are two methods of creating profiles in Lightforge, node profiles, and scripted profiles.
Creating Profiles
Name
The name is used to define what your fixture will be labeled throughout Lightforge.
Universe
This is the DMX Universe that your fixture will be assigned to.
Address
This is the DMX Channel that your fixture will be assigned to.
Use Multiple Addresses
This allows you to add multiple addresses or ranges or addresses to a single Lightforge fixture. This is useful for situations where you have multiple real fixtures that you would like to be assigned to a single fixture in Lightforge.
Count
The count option gives you the ability to add multiple sequentially addressed lighting fixtures of the same type.
Offset
This gives you the option to leave a specified number of empty channels between the sequential fixtures specified in "Count".
Channel Panel
The Channel Panel shows how the addresses the selected DMX Universe are being used.
Color Coding:
White: Addresses that are available.
Gray: Addresses that are taken by other fixtures.
Cyan: The addresses that your current selection is occupying.
Red: Addresses that can't be patched because of overlapping channels.
