Add a Fixture Library to Hog 4 OS

Explanation

When a profile request has been fulfilled you will need to add the profile to the Hog OS before it can be patched and used.  The below instructions are for outside a show (at the Hog Start Screen), but you can do this inside a show.

If on a Console you will need to save the Library file to a USB Stick and plug the stick into the console. If you are on PC, you can save the file to your desktop.
