3.1.Fixture Proﬁles

A ﬁxture proﬁle (often referred to as a Fixture Personality) is a ﬁle containing all information about a particular ﬁxture. this

includes:

Fixture information - Number of channels, lamp type, name, number of beams

Channel information - Gobo, Color, Pan/tilt, Shutter, Iris, Zoom etc…

Preset information - presets are inside a channel. For example: gobo star, gobo line, gobo open

myDMX 3.0 supports SSL2 ﬁxture proﬁles. A library of over 15,000 is included with the software. Proﬁles can be created

and edited with the Scan Library Editor. The accuracy of the ﬁxture proﬁle is very important, for example if the ‘Dimmer’ channel

is not in the correct place, you will not see a light beam when you click the ‘Beam Open’ button in myDMX 3.0.

3.2.Patching Fixtures

Before you can begin programming, a ﬁxture must be patched (or added) to the software. Fixtures can be chosen from the Scan

Library proﬁle list to the left of the PATCH screen.

To patch a ﬁxture, drag a ﬁxture from the left and drop it onto the patch grid on the right, or select a ﬁxture on the left and click

the ‘Patch’ button. Be sure that the address the ﬁxture has been patched to matches the ﬁxtures address in reality. The example

below shows 4 moving heads patched to address 1, 19, 37 and 55. The address is normally set either by a digital display on the

lighting ﬁxture itself or via a set of DIP switches. To ﬁnd out which DIP switches need to be set on a particular ﬁxture, select the

ﬁxture in the patch grid and refer to the DIP switch graphic at the top right.
