Fixture Control Commands

Fixture commands such as Lamp ON, Lamp OFF, Reset, Park and Unpark can be accessed by pressing Menu, or by entering the quick menu via ONYX in the upper left hand corner.

Then, in the quick menu you'll see the commands listed:

To use the commands, simply select all the fixtures you wish to send the command to, then enter the menu and press the button for Lamp On, Lamp Off or Fixture Reset.

When using the Lamp On and Lamp Off commands, the console will "stagger" DMX output randomly so that the command is not received by all the fixtures simultaneously.

Park

Whole fixtures can be "Parked" at their current output via the fixture commands window.

To access available Park commands:

  1. Select the fixtures you wish to Park.
  2. Assign values.
  3. Hold Menu or press ONYX to access the menu from the upper left corner.
  4. Press Park under fixture commands.

The fixture(s) are now parked at the values you assigned. Fixture parameters can still be recorded into cues as normal but the values will not be output. Parked fixtures will display in Gray in the parameters window as shown below.

You may also Unpark via the same method. Select the fixtures, press ONYX to enter the quick menu, and press Unpark.

Park Commands in the Default Window

Park Commands can also be accessed through the "Default" Window, which is under Programmer when you are assigning function keys and sidebar buttons.

In this window, it is simple to Park The Selected Fixtures, Unpark Selected Fixtures, and Unpark All Fixtures via the buttons at the top.
