QuickQ - Updating Fixture Personalities Library

Updating the Fixture Library 

When you patch a fixture, the fixture is copied from the fixture library to your show file.

So to start with the freshest fixtures, you need an up-to-date fixture library!

We update the fixture library every day

online at around 7 PM EDT. It is a separate file from the console software named the "heads.all" file.

1. Download the latest fixture library, the "heads.all" found here
2. Copy it to a USB stick and insert the stick in the console.
3. Select the menu button on the top right, then select Files
4. Select Install Fixture Library File from the Files menu. 
5. Select the "heads.all" file on the USB drive. 

Updating a fixture in an existing show file in QuickQ is not possible.

You will need to start a new show file and re-program your show. Alternatively, send a copy of your show file to either support@chamsyslighting.com if you are in the USA or for the rest of the world, support@chamsys.co.uk

Updating individual Fixture Files(s)

If you have been sent an individual ".hed" file (perhaps you requested we build a fixture for you), then use this method:

1. Download the individual fixture(s) file "fixturename.hed" supplied by ChamSys
2. Copy to a USB stick and insert the stick in the console.
3. Select the menu button on the top right, then select Files
4. Select Install Fixture File from the Files menu. 
5. Select the file fixture "fixturename.hed" file on the USB drive.
