Setup a fixture in QLC+

 1>  Set your DMX adapter as an OUTPUT in the Input/Output tab

2>  Add your fixture.  

If you have to create your own, use the fixture definition editor that comes with QLC+.  

The Slimline 9Q8 definition is available on the QLC community forum page.  But this process will be similar to any fixture.

3> Create a basic scene for your fixture. 

 In this example below, we create a Scene called "RED" which, when activated will make the fixture go red when a button is pressed.

If you have the DMX adapter selected properly, your light connected with the matching DMX values, this step SHOULD trigger your light to respond to the changes as you move these faders.

4>  Assign a button to the scene you created.

5>  Go into "OPERATE" mode (pressing the green arrow) and then press the button you created in step 4 should make the light go red.
