type

string the name of the fixture type, up to fourteen characters.


For example: Miniscan

stage

switch

yes

if the fixture supports stage focus. If this isn’t specified, the default is

ye

s,

although if the fixture type doesn’t have both pan and tilt features, it has no effect. If a fixture type
has

pan

and tilt features and this is on, the attribute list includes the Stage Focus coordinates

stage

equivalent to

stage of

f.

scale

number the ratio between the scaling of the coarse pan or tilt feature to the fine, for high-

resolution steer-able fixtures. The range is 2 to 256, and the default is 256. This is ignored if the
fixture doesn’t have high-resolution pan and tilt features. Next, the features are listed, in order of
physical channel. Each feature is represented by any combination of the following optional parameters
in any order, except that the first one must be the

channel

parameter which names it. No two

channels may have the same name.


channel

string the name of the feature corresponding to this fixtures DMX channel, up to five

characters.

For example: color, gobo, iris, prism, etc.

short

switch

yes

if the feature’s maximum value is 100,

no

if it is 255. The default is

yes

if

the feature is called

Di

m,

no

otherwise. If the feature is pan or tilt, its maximum value is 9999

regardless of this. Use this if your dimmer channel will be labeled something other than “dim”.

short

toggles the

short

parameter. That is, it sets the feature’s maximum value to 255 if it is

called

Di

m, 100 otherwise.

master

number zero if the feature is unaffected by the

Grand Master

fader, nonzero if it is scaled

by the fader. The fader scales the output only if its DMX value (on a zero to 255 scale, before scaling)
would be less than or equal to this value. Thus, it should be 255 for most dimmers, or 128 for the split
feature on some fixtures that acts like a dimmer from zero to 128, and then strobes beyond that point.
The default is 255 if the feature is called

Di

m, zero otherwise.

master

disables master control if the feature is called

Di

m, enables it over the full range otherwise.

fos

switch

yes

if the full feature range corresponds to a DMX output range of 15 to 255, instead of

the usual zero to 255. This is a special mode used for some FOS fixtures; its default value is

n

o. If this

is specified without a switch, it is turned on.

fos

equivalent to

fos ye

s.

htp

switch

yes

if HTP,

no

if LTP. The default is

yes

if the

feature name is

Di

m,

Shu

t,

Re

d,

Green

or

Blu

e,

no

otherwise.

htp

toggles the HTP parameter.
