Fixture Information

When a fixture is selected, a list of revisions is shown. Many fixtures only have one revision. The revision list is displayed as a table. Selecting a revision displays more detailed information below the table.

A collapsible navigation area is displayed on the left side of the page.

Depending on the screen state, this area can be collapsed to make more room for the fixture details.

The breadcrumb header and the detail header display the selected manufacturer, fixture, and revision.

The revision list has the following columns:

Revision: This is the name of the revision. Actions for the revision are displayed in the same column.
Modes: This is the number of DMX modes in the revision.
Rating: Each revision can be rated. The stars show the average user rating. The number of users who have rated the revision is displayed in brackets. If you have rated the revision, the stars are highlighted to show your rating. Please rate the revision only if you have tested it. You can also leave a comment.
By: This is the name of the user who uploaded the revision.
Tags: The tags indicate the status of the revision. For more information, see below.
Min Version: This displays the GDTF version of this revision.
Date added: This is the date and time the revision was uploaded.

Revision Information

Information about the selected revision is displayed below the list of revisions.

If any of the Revision Tags are active for the file, additional information about those tags is shown. For example, it lists which users have added the tags.

There is also information about the channels and what attribute each channel controls. The DMX Modes section includes these controls:

Switch to Smart View
Expand All
Collapse All

The smart view divides the channels into the geometries of the fixture. If the fixture only has one geometry, there may be little or no visible difference between the two views.

The Revision history is displayed below the DMX information.

On the right side, there is an Open in GDTF Builder button to edit the file in the GDTF Builder.
