Conflicts in Fixture Types

grandMA3 User Manual » Fixture Types » Import Fixture Types » Conflicts in Fixture Types
Version 2.2

Importing or editing fixture types from the library could lead to conflicts, for example, if the fixture type has wrong information in it or if a DMX channel is overlapped by another.

Conflicts are displayed by specific font colors in the Patch. 

Fixture Type with Orange Font Color

  • Orange font colors in the patch indicate a warning. Fixture types with an orange font color are accessible, but may not function properly.

Fixture Type with Red Font Color

  • A red font color describes an error within the fixture type.
  • When a fixture type has errors, they are not displayed outside of the patch menu.
