GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

Tracker Software
The fixture library file is composed of several sections, one for each fixture type. Each section starts
with a unique fixture number hFixture followed by the fixture name. Each successive line in the section
describes one DMX address for the fixture. Each DMX line starts with the attribute number hAtt which
describes what this DMX byte controls, see ATCPAGE.LIB for list. The remainder of each DMX line
provides parameters which describe how this attribute is used by the fixture, for example whether it is a
continuous or stepped control, and which profile, if any, to apply to the attribute.

the console is started or the fixture library changed. The file is updated when a show is loaded that has
different fixture assignments.
