78 Eos Operations Manual
Fixture Creator
Eos provides you with the ability to create your own fixture type within patch and store it with your
show file. You can name the fixture, assign all necessary parameters, define the address of those
parameters, and specify the operational range of them as well.
The fixture creator is accessible from patch. Once a fixture has been created, it is stored in the
show file. It is not added to the fixture library.
To open the fixture creator:
Step 1: Press [Displays]>{Patch} to open the patch display. Or you may open it from the
browser.
Step 2: Select any channel (it need not be the channel for the fixture you are creating, but it
can be) from the keypad.
Step 3: Press {Type} in the CIA patch display. The left side softkeys will change to offer fixture
type options.
Step 4: Press {User}. This will display touchbuttons for all currently patched fixtures in the
CIA.
Step 5: Press {Edit}. This will open a list displaying those same fixtures that are currently
patched. This is the fixture creator.
N o t e : You cannot edit existing fixture library data from the fixture creator. You must
create a new fixture entirely to customize any fixture for your show.
The ability to edit fixture library data will be available in a future release.
