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		-** 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 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
	30	+* Fixture Groups defined as single-channel loads in ShowRunner™
	31	+* 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
	32	+* Fixtures can belong to multiple Fixture Groups, allowing ShowRunner™ to send different types (e.g. RGB vs CCT) of command 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

38	38	1. Open the Pharos Designer 2 software
39	39	1. In the top-right, click "New Project" and select the type of Pharos controller that will be the primary controller

47	47	1. At the top left, click "Manage..." to edit the layout name and dimensions, modify grid settings, and upload a background image if desired
48	48	1. Locate the desired fixture in the Fixture Profile List on the right side of the Layout page
49	49	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		-1. Add fixtures to the layout by dragging them from the Fixture Profile List
	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 using the menu on the right
	54	+1*. Fixture properties such as name, shape, and size can be edited
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
58		-1. Create Fixture Groups by clicking the folder icon above the Fixture List on the left or by right clicking an empty area in the Fixture List
59		-1*. Fixture Groups will correspond to individual loads in ShowRunner™
60		-1*. When a new Fixture Group is created, all currently selected fixtures are automatically added to the group
61		-1**. Clicking a fixture on the layout or in the fixture list will select just that fixture
62		-1**. Ctrl-clicking a fixture will add or remove it from the current selection
63		-1**. Ctrl-dragging on the layout will add multiple fixtures to the current selection
64		-1**. Shift-dragging on the layout will select just the highlighted fixtures
65		-1*. Fixtures can be removed from a group by right clicking them under the group in the Fixture List
66		-1*. Fixtures can be added to an existing group by selecting and then dragging them to a group in the Fixture List
67		-1. Once all fixtures have been laid out and grouped, navigate to the "Patch" page
68		-1. Patch fixtures by dragging them from the fixture list onto the DMX universe
69		-1*. If there are multiple controllers on the job, make sure that the correct controller is selected
70		-1*. For controllers with multiple universes, ensure that the fixtures are patched to the correct universe
71		-1*. Fixtures can be patched to multiple addresses, but it is not possible to patch multiple fixtures to the same address
