If you are programming a new show from the beginning, you should clear all
the old junk out of the desk that the previous user left behind. To clear the
desk, do a WIPEALL See the previous Section 1.7.1 To do a WIPEALL.

2.2 Patching some Conventional lights
Before you can control a Fixture or a Dimmer you must Patch it. The Patch
function connects a desk Channel to an actual output Channel. We have
used the ‘Hotel Room’ theory of numbering our Preset Faders
ie. On Page 0 you find Preset Faders 1 – 60, on Page 1 you find Preset
Faders 100 – 160 and so on.
