Controlled Circuit Properties

The Load Schedule screen displays the properties of each fixture in the form of a grid consisting of various categories and text fields. You can move from one field to another by pressing the arrow keys.

If you select a room, the Load Schedule lists all the fixtures you added to that room.

Similarly, you can view all the fixtures in an area or in the entire system. If you click a column header the fixtures will be sorted by that category. To show or hide different properties of a fixture, right click the header bar and select the properties you want to see or hide.

You can select the cell to the left of the fixture name to highlight the entire row and drag it to a different room in the system directory. To select multiple fixtures, press the Shift or Ctrl key while you select each row. To select all the fixtures in the current view, press Ctrl+A.

Finally, once you have connected a fixture to a control module (see Module and
