	23	+1*. Most fixtures can be controlled correctly using the generic single-channel, RGB, warm/cool, intensity/CCT, etc. profiles
24	24	1*. Pharos also has a large selection of manufacturer-specific profiles which can be used instead of the generics
25	25	1*. Additional generic and manufacturer-specific profiles can be downloaded by clicking the cloud icon on the right, above the fixture profile list
26		-1. Prior to adding fixtures to the layout, consider the following:
27		-1*. ShowRunner™ uses group-level commands, so each individual load in ShowRunner™ must have a corresponding Fixture Group in Pharos
28		-1*. The Pharos API limits commands to single-channel (intensity), RGB, or Intensity/CCT
29		-1*. For RGBW fixtures, it may be a good idea to define them as separate RGB and W fixtures so that ShowRunner™ is able to control the white channel separately from the RGB channels
30		-1*. Fixtures can belong to multiple Fixture Groups, allowing ShowRunner™ to send different types of commands to the same fixtures
31		-1**. For example,
32		-1. Add fixtures to the layout by dragging them from the fixture profile list
33		-1*. Every fixture that is added to the layout represents a unique set of DMX addresses
34		-1*. Note that the fixture number is different than the fixture address, and is automatically incremented by Pharos Designer 2
35		-1*. Right-clicking a fixture on the layout will allow you to "Duplicate" or create a "New Instance" of a fixture
36		-1**. Duplicating a fixture creates a new fixture with the same profile and properties
37		-1**. Creating a New Instance will create a new representation of the fixture without actually creating a new fixture; this allows you to have multiple fixtures represented on the layout that share the same DMX address

39		-1. When adding fixtures to the layout, keep in mind ShowRunner™ uses group-level controls
40		-1*. ShowRunner™ is only able to send RGB, single-channel, and intensity/CCT commands
41		-1*. Other fixture types (such as HSI, warm/cool, ICHS, etc.) still work correctly, but only RGB, single-channel, and intensity/CCT commands can be sent ot them
42		-1*. RGBW fixtures should be defined as separate RGB and W fixtures so that ShowRunner™ can control the white channel separately from the RGB channels
