7 Fixture Library
The NexLan software contains a fixture library of popular fixture personalities. However, if
you have a fixture that is not in the library you can use the Nexus “Fixture Editor” software
to create your custom fixture file. This software is available for Windows and Mac operating
systems and is a free download from www.lcslighting.com
The library file is made up from a basic file “fixture.lib”. This is a text file which can include
sub text files. All files are found in the “Program Files\LSC\NexLan\Fixture Library”
directory.
Example of the main fixture.lib file.
fixture = Profile
image = profile
parameter = Intensity
fixture = Par
image = par
parameter = Intensity
fixture = Dimmer 12ch
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
parameter = Intensity
#include = "martin.lib"
#include = "claypaky.lib"
#include = "highend.lib"
To define a fixture first set its manufacturer, followed by the fixture type name. The image
item sets the name of the icon type.
Example of the high end file - only one fixture shown (studio spot 250).
manufacturer = High End
fixture = Studio Spot 250
head = yoke
image = yoke
parameter = Pan
default = 128
parameter = Pan, fine
parameter = Tilt
default = 128
parameter = Tilt, fine
parameter = Colour 1 Mode
parameter = Colour 1
