Labeling Fixtures

The ONYX Patch window has a Fixture screen that by default, shows the fixture type. This can be altered however, to show a custom name assigned by the user.

To assign a label, press in the “Name” field of the desired fixture or click and drag to select a range of fixtures. Once selected, use the console’s keyboard to enter the text. When complete, the text will be reflected not only in the patch display but also the Fixture screen:

To clear a name from a fixture, press in the Name field and then press Enter.

Note: When setting the Name attribute for a range of fixtures, the console will automatically enumerate the names. For instance, "FOH Artiste DaVinci" when applied to three fixtures, will become "FOH Artiste DaVinci 1" "FOH Artiste DaVinci 2" and "FOH Artiste DaVinci 3." The console will take into account selection order when generating these numbers. This can be very useful when separating groups of fixtures by name.
