Certain fixture types are not able to be pixel mapped

Symptoms/Issue

Certain fixture types are not able to be pixel mapped 

Description/Explanation of Issue

There are a few reasons why a fixture might not be working for pixel mapping

  1. The fixtures are not assigned to the plot
  2. The plot is using RGB color mixing for HSI or CMY fixtures
  3. The fixtures do not have color mixing functionality, like a color wheel. 

Fix/Solution

  1. The fixtures are not assigned to the plot
    1. Make sure the fixtures are assigned to the plot you wish to use in the programmer. There should be a text for PLOT X under intensity and color mixing in the programmer window. 
  2. The plot is using RGB color mixing for HSI or CMY fixtures
    1. If the plot window is outputting RGB values to fixtures that do not have RGB parameters pixel mapping will not function
  3. The fixtures do not have color mixing functionality, like a color wheel. 
    1. Fixtures with only slotted color or preset color functionality can not be pixel mapped. 
    2. the fixtures need to have an intensity parameter and in order to get color the fixtures need to have CMY or RGB parameters.
