114	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:
115	115
116	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
	117	+** The "Group: #" of the load must match the group number as defined in the Pharos project
	118	+* To add a new load to the controller, 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	+*** 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
	122	+**** To have a single load in ShowRunner™ control multiple Pharos groups, create a new group in the Pharos project that contains the other groups and then associate the ShowRunner™ load with the super-group
	123	+**** To have multiple ShowRunner™ loads control the same set of fixtures, create multiple groups in the Pharos project and assign the same fixtures to all groups (this is useful e.g. to allow ShowRunner™ to control an HSIC fixture using either RGB or dynamic white without needing to change the Load Type)
118	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		-*** "Dynamic White" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as "intensity + color temperature"
121		-**** Pharos will translate the input received from ShowRunner™ HSIC, Intensity/CCT, Warm/Cool, etc. fixture profiles in Pharos will
122		-*** "RGB" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as specific red, green, and blue values
123		-* 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
124		-** 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

	125	+*** "Single Channel" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as intensity only
	126	+**** 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
	127	+**** Fixture profiles without a dedicated intensity channel (RGB, RGBA, RGBW, etc.) will set all channels to the same intensity value sent by ShowRunner™
	128	+*** "Dynamic White" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as an intensity and a color temperature
	129	+**** Fixture profiles with dedicated intensity and color temperature (HSIC, ICHS, I/CCT, etc.) will use the values sent by ShowRunner™
	130	+**** 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™
	131	+*** "RGB" loads are interpreted by the Pharos as an intensity + specific red, green, and blue values
	132	+**** 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
	133	+**** 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™
