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
31 -1**. This allows ShowRunner™ to send different types of commands to the same fixtures
32 -1**. Useful for certain situations, such as HSIC fixtures that need to be controlled as color-changing (RGB) in some situations but dynamic white (intensity/CCT) in others
33 33  1. Add fixtures to the layout by dragging them from the fixture profile list
34 34  1*. Every fixture that is added to the layout represents a unique set of DMX addresses
