Fixture Manager

The fixture manager is the heart of QLC+'s fixture-oriented architecture. As its name already says, you can manage (add, remove and edit) your lighting fixtures from the fixture manager. On the left side of the manager there is a list that displays all of the fixtures in the current workspace. When a fixture is selected, the right side of the window displays the details of the selected fixture. When a Fixture Group is selected, the right side of the window is occupied by the Fixture Group Editor.

Controls
