28	28	* The Pharos controller does any necessary processing to adapt these commands for the fixtures
29	29	** For example, if Pharos receives an RGB command for a group containing RGB, HSI, and HSIC fixtures, it will do its best to make sure that the output color is consistent across all the different fixture types
30	30	** Certain manufacturer-specific fixture Profiles exist in order to help the Pharos controller achieve a consistent output across multiple different fixture types
31		-* If it is desired to control the white channel separately from the RGB channels of an RGBW fixture, then it must be defined in the Pharos project as two separate RGB and W fixtures that are grouped separately and defined separately in ShowRunner™
32		-* Fixtures can belong to multiple Fixture Groups, allowing ShowRunner™ to send different types of command (e.g. RGB vs CCT) to the same fixture
	31	+* If it is desired to control the white channel separately from the RGB channels of an RGBW fixture, then it must be defined in the Pharos project as two separate RGB and W fixtures that are in different groups
	32	+* Individual Fixtures can belong to multiple Fixture Groups, allowing ShowRunner™ to send different types of command (e.g. RGB vs CCT) to the same fixture
33	33	** 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
	34	+** In this scenario, one group would be defined in ShowRunner™ as an RGB load and one group would be defined as a Dynamic White load

46	46	1. At the top left, click "Manage..." to edit the layout name and dimensions, modify grid settings, and upload a background image if desired
47	47	1. Locate the desired fixture in the Fixture Profile List on the right side of the Layout page
48	48	1*. Most fixtures can be controlled correctly using the generic single-channel, RGB, warm/cool, intensity/CCT, HSIC, etc. profiles
49		-1*. Pharos also has a large selection of manufacturer-specific profiles which can be used instead of the generics
50	50	1*. Additional generic and manufacturer-specific profiles can be downloaded by clicking the cloud icon on the right, above the fixture profile list
51	51	1. Add fixtures to the layout by dragging them from the fixture profile list
52	52	1*. Every fixture that is added to the layout represents a unique set of DMX addresses
53	53	1*. The fixture number is different than the fixture address, and is automatically incremented by Pharos Designer 2
54		-1*. Fixture properties such as name, shape, and size can be edited
	54	+1*. Fixture properties such as name, shape, and size can be edited using the menu on the right
55	55	1*. Right-clicking a fixture on the layout will allow you to either "Duplicate" or create a "New Instance" of a fixture
56	56	1**. Duplicating a fixture creates a new fixture with the same profile and properties but that will occupy different DMX addresses
57	57	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
