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.

	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	+* To add a new load to ShowRunner™, press "Add New Load" below the list of loads
	119	+** The "Load Index/Channel" must match the group number as defined in the Pharos project
	120	+*** Since ShowRunner™ uses group-level commands and fixtures in a group aren't necessarily on the same DMX universe, the "Universe ID" is grayed out and cannot be modified
	121	+** 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
	122	+*** "Single Channel" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as intensity only
	123	+**** Fixture profiles with a dedicated channel for intensity (IRGB, HSI, HSIC, ICHS, etc.) will only adjust the intensity channel, leaving the color and color temperature unchanged
	124	+**** Fixture profiles without a dedicated intensity channel (RGB, RGBA, RGBW, etc.) will set all channels to the same intensity value sent by ShowRunner™
	125	+*** "Dynamic White" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as an intensity and a color temperature
	126	+**** Fixture profiles with dedicated intensity and color temperature (HSIC, ICHS, I/CCT, etc.) will use the values sent by ShowRunner™
	127	+**** 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™
	128	+*** "RGB" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as an intensity + specific red, green, and blue values
	129	+**** 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
	130	+**** Fixture profiles without a dedicated intensity channel (RGB, RGBW, etc.) will mix the intensities for each color to attempt to match the color and overall intensity sent by ShowRunner™

122	122	** 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
