112 +In order to control DMX fixtures on a Pharos controller with ShowRunner™, it is necessary to make sure that the ShowRunner™ configuration has the correct settings for the Pharos controller. Under the "LightingControllers" section of the ShowRunner™ configuration, locate the entry for the Pharos controller. Under the "Properties" section, verify that the "IpAddressOrHostname" matches the IP address or hostname of the Pharos controller. The "ApiPort" only needs to be changed if the HTTP port for the Pharos controller's web server has been changed from the default 80. Once the Properties for all Pharos controllers have been updated, load the configuration to the processor.

114 +To add Pharos loads to ShowRunner™, launch the XPanel and navigate to the Settings > Load Configuration page and then select the Pharos controller from the list of controllers on the left. Once the controller is selected, press the "Configure Loads" button:

116 +* All currently defined loads are shown on the left
117 +** The "Group: #" of the load must match the group number as defined in the Pharos project
118 +** The "Load Type" does not need to strictly match the fixture type as defined in the Pharos project, as the Pharos controller will do its own processing to mix the DMX output to achieve the desired color
119 +*** "Single Channel" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as intensity only 
120 +**** Fixture profiles with a dedicated channel for intensity (IRGB, HSI, HSIC, ICHS, etc.) will only adjust the intensity, leaving the color and color temperature unchanged
121 +**** Fixture profiles without a dedicated intensity channel (RGB, RGBA, RGBW, etc.) will set all channels to the same intensity
122 +*** "Dynamic White" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as an intensity and a color temperature
123 +**** Fixture profiles with dedicated intensity and color temperature (HSIC, ICHS, I/CCT, etc.) will use the values sent by ShowRunner™
124 +**** Pharos will attempt to mix the DMX output for fixture profiles without dedicated intensity and color temperature channels (warm/cool, RGBW, etc.) in order to match the values sent by ShowRunner™
125 +*** "RGB" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as an intensity + specific red, green, and blue values
126 +**** Fixture profiles with a dedicated channel for intensity (IRGB, HSI, HSIC, etc.) will use the load level sent by ShowRunner™ for intensity and then mix the other channels to match the RGB values
127 +**** Fixture profiles without a dedicated intensity channel (RGB, R
128 +* It is not possible to assign multiple Pharos groups to the same load, and it is not possible to assign multiple loads to the same group
129 +** To have a single load in ShowRunner™ control multiple Pharos groups, it is necessary to create a group in the Pharos project that contains the other groups and then associate the ShowRunner™ load with the super-group
